Please read - This experience was absolutely amazing I recommend highly if I could rate more than five stars I would. Me and my daughter went out for her 10th birthday. We had a blast. The captains were absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable. May the experience 100% they were very patient and they really care about their people who travel with them. They were very protective of us with other boats. It was an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about taking this, bring water shoes. Also, if you’re thinking about doing it and are on the fence, absolutely do this.

Great experience - Highly recommend - On vacation with my daughter & her friend from Illinois for their spring break. If you’re looking for a snorkeling and site seeing dolphin excursion with a smaller group, I highly recommend. What shells were caught that had living creatures were put in a bucket for everyone to look at & returned back to the ocean before we headed back. Fun, laid back experience. We seen a pack of dolphins with baby. We were here for 6 days & this was my favorite experience.
