Dolphin viewing with a wonderful guide! - Abby was our guide and she did a wonderful job of pointing out things to us along the way and she was VERY knowledgeable about the plants and animals that we saw on our boat ride. The Captain did an excellent job of driving the boat. He would stop when there were things to look at, especially the dolphins!
