    Had such a great day with you. Loved your passion and the responsibility with which you interact with the dolphins. No "hunting" or "chasing" them. Seems they just enjoy joining and playing with us. Best tour ever👍👌

    Very professional staff that are extremely accommodating. We got our booking mixed up but they still helped us out. An amazing experience highly recommend. Will do it again.
