We saw the dolphins twice and were very lucky to see them within the first 15 mins of the trip. The boat is very comfortable and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the best trips ever! Definitely recommend!

We didn’t see any dolphins for quite a while, but when we did, the guides stayed out longer so we could spend time enjoying them while they swam all around the boat—it was fantastic!
