"Lovely insights along the way, giving us information about the sights we were seeing and highlighting for us the most beautiful things to watch out for. It was made very clear that it was not guaranteed that we would see dolphins. However, we were so lucky and we did get to see them. Magic. A really lovely tour."Claire, June 15, 2024
