My girlfriend from high school and I had a blast - we loved the entire time on the Blue Dolphin. The staff went out of there way to assist everyone and the people were a fun bunch. Loved the drinks, lunch, and snorkeling!!!

Overall the excursion was great! The catamaran is a little smaller than others I’ve been on. Only 3 people are allowed in the net area on each side so if that is your thing get on the first boat that goes out. Staff was awesome, food and alcohol was great and saw a ton of yellow fin when snorkeling. We meet a ton of people!
