DOLPHIN playground was amazing - with babies and Mammas jumping everywhere! - I've been on dolphin cruises, but this one topped them all. We were literally in a dolphin playground with babies jumping everywhere and adults doing adult things - they came right up to the boat. When the Captain played Marvin Gaye's "get it on", the dolphins went crazy. It was impossible to catch ALL of it on camera. I only was able to get videos which I could not upload - but the dolphins LOVE this boat!

Most knowledgable tour guides! - Unforgettable dolphin sunset tour! The knowledge and the dedication of the team and this company is incomparable to the any others out there! Especially our hostess, Kirsten, made all the difference. Her knowledge about the animals, the area and her proactive attitude in all things on board made this an unforgettable trip for me and my son!
