The perfect private dolphin and wildlife tour in the area. Worth every penny! - The captain of the boat Brady was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area and being on a smaller vessel we could get closer to the dolphins and other wildlife. I can't recommend this tour highly enough! No crowds to fight to see and a perfect 360 degree view. He also provided information on island history. Amazing experience!
