Best Sunset Dolphin Cruise Ever
This was the most fun and best dolphin cruise I have ever been on. Daniel and Tanya made it fun and kept us laughing, they put us in a pod of playful dolphins that we got to enjoy for a long time, and the sunset was beautiful. The trip was fun, informative, and exciting. Kudos to the captain, Daniel, and his crew, Tanya!

Party on a boat - Family owned business aims to provide a great experience
Daniel and Tanya are great, full of life and make the event a lot of fun. A family owned business. They are very focused on ensuring attendees have a great positive experience. We went on the dolphin and sunset cruise - they made sure we saw lots of dolphins, and took our pictures with the sunset. For fans of Survivor, Daniel will remind you of Ozzie!
