Wonderful - Loved the boat, very roomy and covered. Tour guides were great and we saw quite a few dolphins and it was wonderful, followed a container ship and saw several dolphins jumping out of water in front of ship. Going through the marsh was awesome too. I would definitely do this again and again!!
