5.00Outstanding. We first showed up for the Dolphins and Donuts tour and there was a problem with the boat, so we were upgraded to the next evening's Sunset Dolphin tour. Captain Eric and Tour Guide and Marine Biologist CJ were the Best. It was a beautiful evening with a great group of individuals and so informative. I would recommend this tour a thousand times. This is a memory I will never forget.
