Dolphins and a turtle

5.00We had a great time! Was a beautiful day, and we got upclose to dolphins, and a turtle. Our 7 year old found it a little scary getting through the bar, but once we saw the dolphins, he loved it! We'll be back in Whale season
Great exhilarating boat...

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an unforgettable experience. We saw dolphins almost immediately, and not just dolphins but baby dolphins too, which was beyond exciting. Watching them swim and play alongside the boat was something we will never forget. Our tour guide, Mike, was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the area incredibly well. He knew exactly where to go to find the dolphins, but what stood out most was how respectful he was of their space. It was obvious he genuinely cares about the local wildlife and about doing things the right way, not just chasing a sighting. The whole experience felt calm, special, and thoughtfully run. We will absolutely be back for whale season and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic, wildlife-respectful experience.
Great 1.5 hours out and about
