This was an amazing activity! The crew (Christen, Brian, and Jason) were AMAZING! They created a great and safe environment! Everyone was super friendly! We saw lots of dolphins, turtles and a monk seal! Once in a lifetime opportunity! Thank you to the entire team🤩

We were so lucky to come across a pod of about 200 dolphins but must say i was terrified thinking about what was behind them and causing them to be moving so fast
