Great guides!! - Kim and Captain Chris made the Dolphins and Donuts such a fun trip!! Kim goes out of his way to make connections with everyone on the trip and remembers little facts about people that make the trip interactive and fun!! He celebrated and validated all the kids on board as well as others celebrating special events, like birthdays! I’d definitely take a tour with them again!
