Unforgettable! - We had the absolute best time!! Captain Collin and First Mate Kirsten were so fun and informative. They knew right where to go and we had so many dolphin sightings. We even saw some that jumped out of the water! It was so cool to see. I came back with over 20 videos where we saw dolphins playing. Our family really enjoyed looking through the Fin Book that they had on board to see the dolphin alliances, and to read about some of each dolphin’s behaviors. The drinks and snacks were also a great addition. :). Thanks for an unforgettable experience!!
