“We did the private dolphin tour and opted for the 8am tour to beat the heat and crowds, and it did not disappoint! Captain Alex was wonderful as well as his side kick, Layla. We saw multiple dolphins, jumped in with them, saw turtles, rays and crabs. He also took us to a private beach to search for shells and carried our bucket full back for us. It was great to customize for what we wanted to do as we had a 14, 12 and 10 year old. Great time was had by all!!!”
