A fantastic experience thanks to a captain who went out of his way to ensure our satisfaction! He had a real knowledge of the species we observed and the interactions were very pleasant. Thank you again for this wonderful experience we shared as a family. The small group tour, getting up close to the dolphins and turtles, was much appreciated.
