We had a wonderful time & the trip was perfect. Weather couldn't have been better. We had some difficulty booking online so I called Red Boat directly. Jennifer was unbelievably helpful & kind. She calmed me down & had everything straighten out in no time. They are a great tour company to work with & highly recommended.
Very relaxing and lots of pictures. Saw some dolphins and beautiful sunset as promised. Only thing better would have been more narration
