Horrible

Me and my friend driving 18 hours from Missouri to go on this trip, went to the sunset dolphin tour, and were so excited. 5mins into the trip I left to go to the bathroom, and she was confronted by the tour guide, that her swimsuit cover was coming up, instead of going abt it in a nice way she yelled at my friend saying some very vulgar thing, and refused to apologize, and told her to sit down the rest of the trip l. At the end my friend was being nice and apologized when she had no reason to and the tour guide said she accepted the apology and made it very clear she was not sorry abt how she acted with the situation, her aggression was previously recorded bc we felt so unsafe in that situatio. Her actions had ruined the whole trip before it even started which ended up being a waste of 90$ for us and some people came in their swim suits and had nothing said to them she made us feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and very unwelcome!
