5.00What a beautiful day on the water. Very little wind, sunny, and the water was deep blue perfection. The guide was fantastic and super knowledgeable. The crew was kind and attentive but also left us alone so we could fully experience the peace and tranquility of the open water. We saw three different pods of Harbor Dolphins and many birds. Thank you for this amazing day at sea.
What a great afternoon dolphin watching.

5.00It was a lovely sunny weather, crystal clear water, mild breeze and calm water. Although no sighting of the Bryde’s whale, we got lucky to see an interesting nursing pod of dolphins and it was many of them. It was a beautiful and magical moment indeed. Thanks to Kayla, Hannah, Dolly and Joseph for the hard work taking care of the trip, the marine ecosystem and eyes on binoculars to seek the wonderful creatures!

4.00Even though we didn't see any whales and briefly spotted only a few dolphins near the end of the trip, the time on the boat was fun and informative. The company gave each of us on the boat a voucher to use for another trip at anytime in the future.

A Day with the Dolphins

5.00I went on the activity at the beginning of March. The weather was gorgeous, only started getting gray as we were headed back to the dock. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales. However, we ran across several pods of dolphins. They and we were having great fun with each other. The crew was fantastic. Very learned according to both their bios and interactions. Forgive me if I leave anyone out because you were all great. Sanaa, Carly, Emily, Lucie, and Greg maybe? Lol. Anyway, it was a fun adventure. I avoided getting drenched from the spray. The vessel had a generous amount of drinks, snacks, and foodstuffs seemingly for everyone to purchase. I would definitely recommend! Jay
