Enjoyed the sunset and watching many dolphins. My kids had fun seeing Dolphins play. I would definitely visit again and recommend this cruise. Captain was very nice and informative.

It was a very boring...

It was a very boring experience unfortunately. We just sat and had very little movement, and the captain repeated himself. I definitely expected a lot more from my experience

Dolphin fun!

It was great! We saw a lot of dolphins! The only thing I will say is that it was about to storm and it was lightning and I feel like the captain didn’t end the tour sooner. We had already saw a lot of dolphins at the point so me and a few others were kind of anxious and ready to get off the water with it lightning that bad. We were safe in the end and it was a fun!

Just ok not worth money

Cost is to much. Understand need to charge for expenses but didn't seem concerned when it lightened!
