It was a lovely 2 hours. We must have seen hundreds of dolphins!! - Luckily a whole feeding pod and joined by 4 other pods. The captain was very informative, telling us about the different species of dolphins and a lot of information about their lives. It was a very comfortable and lovely time.

A beautiful trip with dolphin antics.

The most memorable was getting into a pod of common dolphins that was over 800 strong. They were so playful and stayed near us for quite awhile. We saw two whale plumes, but sadly no whales although the captain tried very hard. It is always a pleasure to be out on the ocean on your wonderful boat with your friendly and helpful staff.
