“My daughter and I went and had so much fun watching the dolphins! I’ve been on a lot of tours with different companies and Christo was the best at getting us wonderful views of dolphins jumping out of the water. It was absolutely incredible! The girls working were so attentive making sure everyone on the boat was well taken care of. Thank you Sara and Audra for taking pics and getting our drinks! And yes, even “fishing” something out of the water that a guest dropped. We will book with them again!”
