Adult family dolphin family cruise.
I took my adult kids and their children ages 13 -21. They had a ball. We took the 9:00 am private cruise. Not fun dragging them out of bed but they enjoyed themselves. Worth the money for great memories and education

Amazing Experience!
We booked the private charter for a sunset dolphin cruise. It accommodated all 22 members of the family ranging from 2 months to 78 years old. Everyone on the boat had a blast and we could not have had more fun! The staff was amazing the whole time!
