Excellent time. Weather was excellent and great time.
Chase was awesome , very informative and such a great guide. Couldn't ask for more in a guide, even a senior in high school no less. His parents should be very proud, good young man.

We had a wonderful time! we saw tons of dolphins. Our guide was knowledgeable and safe. I went with a friend and there were several others booked at the same time. I often times do these activities alone (as a 44 year-old woman) and I would have felt safe if I was alone. I didn’t think it was overly strenuous but we were out on the ocean (rather than a bay). There are some waves to deal with. I highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic tour, the kayaking was fun and the dolphin views were amazing. Guide said it was one of the most active tours with dolphin breaching he had ever seen. I definitely recommend this for a great time on the water with dolphin views I have only seen at aquariums!

The trip was great. The guide was great. Got to see some dolphins. The trip might have went on a little longer than we would have cared for. Maybe cause we were tired from travel, no fault of the tour guides obviously. Lots of fun though.

I loved this so much. I had a ball. I put my phone away and pledged to myself to stay present. Matt took videos and photos and shared them with everyone later. It so such a nice extra touch that I so appreciated. Matt felt like going kayaking with a good friend’s husband. You may not know him well but you know he can be trusted and you are safe. He was professional, fun, and uber knowledgeable about the water/dolphins. I would do this again anytime. ✌🏼💜

Our tour guide was awesome!! And boy did he know his stuff. Very informative about the history of the area, and the hot spots to see those amazing sea creatures. I felt total safe and relaxed… this is from a person who can’t swim and is afraid of the water.

The water was choppy the day we went out, so I'm not sure if it would have been different with calmer weather, but all we did was basically hug the beach. The view never changed. Just looked at the same beach houses for two hours. No dolphin sightings, but again, thats mother nature for ya. The youngs guys that took us out were very nice/helpful. For almost 400 bucks when you throw in tips I guess I was expecting a little more than a straight shot out, turn around and a straight shot back. Overall pretty underwhelming and a bit too expensive.

Very well organized. Our guide, Tommy, was very informative, knowledgeable, and fun! He took extra care making sure everyone in our group was able to see the dolphins and the ever elusive loggerhead sea turtle he also provided everyone on the tour with photos and videos of our groups and the sea life we saw.
