Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?

After a long wait to finally get to see the dolphins, then watching them stay by the boat so we could take pictures was incredible. It’s like they knew they were getting their pictures taken. My son kept hollering, “there they are, mom,” in excitement.

They would move from one side of the boat, to under it, to right in front of it. On this boat, however, you can walk all around, so you never miss them. We found out that dolphins only sleep 45 minutes a day!

Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?

It was well worth the $15.00, and we enjoyed the boat ride, as well. If you have young children, it’s a great experience to see dolphin up-close and take pictures.
