“Amazing Experience, Must Do! - Our captain and deckhand were great! It was a great experience and totally worth it! We brought lanyards for our phones and took video it turned out amazing! The staff didn’t take any (as I had read in previous reviews). We also got to see spinner dolphins! Highly recommend this, but take Dramamine and you’ll be fine!!!! Would absolutely do it again!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-27
