Great dolphin watching tour - The crew was great, from instruction to helping people go to the bow of the boat for pictures. A few dolphins were spotted, but there were not too many pods active this day. Part of the fun is trying to spot them as they surface. Nice ride with minimal wave activity on our day, and a great opportunity for sunset pictures.

Sunset cruise - The cruise was great, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Seating was limited and uncomfortable. Lots of dolphins and the crew gave a great perspective of the channel and history
