Bottlenose dolphins! - We had a wonderful time with Kaden and Kristin! We snorkeled with bottlenose dolphins (so amazing!), turtles, and other fish. Great music and lots of fun on the boat, complete with fun facts about the island and whales as we saw them. Thank you!!

Beautiful day on the water - We had a lovely time with Koa and Kaiden (if I botched the spelling, I’m sorry!!). They were so knowledgeable and made the experience tons of fun. We got to see bottlenose dolphins and a sea turtle up close from the boat! The dolphins were feeling introverted when we went out, so we didn’t get to swim with them. We did get to snorkle with some big, colorful fish!! I loved how our crew paid attention to the dolphin’s behavior and the pod size to ensure we weren’t going to stress them out! They were extremely respectful to all the wildlife, which was one of the most important things to me. I was a first-time snorkeler, and there was a bit of a learning curve. The team was very patient and taught me to use the equipment on the spot, but in hindsight I wish I had done an intro snorkel in calmer, shallower waters first. When the dolphins are nearby you have to hop in the water super fast, so you don’t miss your opportunity, which can be a little overwhelming for a newbie. All in all, we had a great time! One of the highlights of our trip.

Fun adventure for all! - Great activity. Our group has people aged 3 to 71. We all had a great time. Kaden and Brooke were delightful…we had fun but also felt safe. Woukd definitely recommend. A couple notes: the “head” was out of order. If you go, plan it it being unavailable. Also, we booked for 5 people, one being a child. As such, we thought we might have a private sail, but alas, 2 other adults joined us making the group 7, even though the max is 6. We would have paid the adult rate for our grand daughter and woukd have paid for a phantom “adult” to have the boat and crew devoted to us and our interests. Just keep this in mind! Nonetheless, we had a great time!

Great vibes! - Wow! This boat tour is BY FAR the best option. Other companies are cool but they load people on like a cruise ship. This is an intimate experience with chill and knowledgeable staff. 100% worth the extra $20 or whatever it is. Small, local business and great vibes. Enjoy!!

Best family vacation! - We had the BEST experience with Brooke and Ali. We had some that had snorkeled as well as some newbies. They made sure we were comfortable and all our needs were met during the excursion. We really enjoyed having our smaller group vs the large group tours we saw along the way. Don’t hesitate to book with these ladies, I know we will again!! Thank you for making this trip memorable!

A MUST DO!!! Wish I could have taken our entire family! - Being able to swim with dolphins was a once in a lifetime experience! I am not the greatest swimmer and our younger daughter was a little apprehensive swimming in the open ocean, but Brooke and Ally made us and our kids feel safe while being so knowledgeable!! Learned so much! They were able to find dolphins right away and got us into the water for an amazing time! Love that it was an intimate group of 7. Highly recommend! Worth every penny!

A very good tour - The tour was really nice, we swam with the dolphins twice. After that we saw a turtle and a monk seal too. Unfortunately we found them after 1.5 hours. Ofcourse it’s nature and the tour guides can’t do anything about that. The crew was nice and they gave us good instructions.

Don’t bother wasting your money. Owner crooked. - Don’t waste your money. I spent the extra for a small group experience. The girls on the boat were great. Not their fault. We were told the earlier in the day the better chance to swim with ocean life. We booked 0730. The night before we got a text that there weren’t enough people and we had to switch to 1030. When we got on the boat, the other couple said they were told the same thing and they were scheduled for 0730 too!!! Underhanded dealings! Needless to say, didn’t swim with one dolphin! The girls did their best! They looked and looked, we did snorkel with turtles, but I didn’t pay 200$ a person to swim with a turtle. I get it’s not guaranteed, it’s nature…. But the reviews spoke otherwise and the thought that if we did go at 0730 we may have been able to haunts me to today. They did offer to go again at half price, but a little too late.
