My family of 4 rented 2 wave runners and had a great time! The guide was nice and friendly and we were able to find dolphins with his help. We even saw a baby dolphin swimming with the mama dolphin! The guide rode around with us for about an hour and the last 1/2 hour was left up to us to go where we wanted to go on our own. It was a blast!

Jet Ski excursion was wonderful. We enjoyed the dolphins close up. The trick is to find them and then turn off the jet ski, as the impeller noise conflicts with them. Great time!!!

It was the best thing we did this vacation!! We saw at least 7 dolphin and had a blast! Got so close to them, right in front of my jetski one time. Our guide was nice and personable and we ended up leaving a sweater and a license and they called us immediately. That really impressed me. We will do this again!!

This was, by far, my favorite excursion of our entire vacation. First of all, being on a jet ski is lots of fun. When you add in chasing dolphins and being within touching distance of them, you get a magical experience. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Awesome experience getting close to the dolphins with Sherman as our guide! We saw at least 20 dolphins in a pod including some babies - the most our guide had seen as well. We also enjoyed being able to cruise on the wave runners on the bay for a bit! My teenagers ages 14-19 really enjoyed this activity!
