Traveler reviews
We had a wonderful time...
We had a wonderful time snorkeling and hunting for fish and shells. Saw a few dolphins and a sting ray flip out of the water. The captain and crew were fun and entertaining! Everyone should go!
Worth every penny
Cristo , peyton and Emma were absolutely amazing and made the trip a ton of fun and even took pictures of us swimming and snorkeling on our phones. We saw dolphins, jelly fish, crabs and more.
Awesome time!
My friends and I went on the dolphin cruise. The weather wasn’t the best, which no one can control. We didn’t see dolphins, but we did get to snorkel and it was a ton of fun. The crew members were great and fun!
Be careful. Have fun.
In your excitement, be careful and carrful. My phone got wet and destroyed. Make sure you protect your items. My phone pouch was water proof, but it was not locked all the way and water got in my pouch; and therefore destroyed my phone. Be careful with your valuables. The trip was good, but was overshadow by the lost of my phone.
Spectacular!! Wonderful experience
My husband and I had THE best time on the Catamaran dolphin and snorkel cruise. It was a 3 hour cruise and the $100 we spent was well worth it. Captain Heath was very courteous and professional and was very engaging. We would definitely do this again. The snorkeling was so nice and relaxing. We were able to see many different species of fish.
