We had a group of 8 and all felt as though we got more than our moneys worth on the excursion. There was a large group that did not make it so more staff to participants ratio was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and worked to make sure all questions were answered.

We saw a whole school of amazing spinner dolphins! The captain and crew were amazing; friendly, knowledgeable and provided a great lunch. The entire experience was 5 star!
