Saw Dolphins Multiple Times and The Guides Were Fantastic!

I had a fantastic time on the boat. My guides were Makayla and Seirra and they made my boat ride a blast! Not only did they answer any question I had but they told us so many cool facts. They were super kind and I had a fantastic time with them. The visit was about 2 hours, with a stop at an island where you could swim or collect seashells. There was about 6 people on the boat. We saw dolphins multiple times with the guides pointing them out everytime. Makayla and Seirra were awesome and made my trip great there and back to the dock. I never heard them repeat a single fact about the ocean and dolphins! They did a great job overall!
