Had the best time of my life.. Such lovely people and the experience is so personal get to spend a good time with the dolphins. We had zac he was so lovely and well behaved lol. We was staying in Orlando so discovery cove was nearer to us but double the price and apparently the experience is not as personal. So I was happy to drive to St augustine and the town is very beautiful to. Thankyou to all the staff for making our day so special and to zac for being the perfect dolphin xx

So relaxing, enjoyable and recharging. Great atmosphere, excellent crew. Vessel has a bar onboard, Australia own war ships that serves alcohol while underway. Love it, so did my better half.

So much fun to see our grandchildren enjoy the pirate ship voyage while we enjoyed the beautiful time on the water. Just the right amount of time !

The team that worked with the animals were wonderful! It was such a great experience. Would definitely recommend!
