Just ok, crew was great though

Overall the experience was ok. I was not happy with the instructions strictly telling us to get there at least 30 mins early only to have us sit outside for 45 mins in the miserably hot and humid sun waiting to board. We also boarded 10-15 mins after the scheduled start time (6pm). That was pretty annoying as we were dressed nicely to go to dinner after. However, the captain and the other staff member on board (I think Jordan and Jay were their names) were awesome. They were funny and kept us informed of changing weather conditions and got us back safely when rain quickly approached and started pouring on us! I was able to stay pretty dry, but everyone else got soaked. The boat is covered but if it’s moving, it’s very hard to stay dry. We only saw 2 dolphins maybe. And they were pretty far away. There were about 5 boats circling the bay trying to see the dolphins. Wasn’t really a fan of that. Felt like we were chasing them. Would I do this again? Probably not.

Perfect experience

We had a great time. Jordan was excellent with our 4 year old. He made us feel safe the entire trip. Jersey was friendly and knowledgeable about our surroundings. We saw multiple dolphins and the sunset was amazing. The boat was clean and we did not feel crowded.
