It was great! The Crew was lovely, had interesting Information and we were so Lucky as to be joined by a group of Dolphins for approximately an hour, playing and swimming around the boat.
It was nice to see more dolphins than I thought and they swam along our boat for a long time.
Very long day. Unfortunately no dolphins. But we get to come back for free and we received a complimentary drink.
Thanks to Cruise Team for having us, great and wonderful experience ❤️

Dolphin encounter
Great trip out looking for dolphins, friendly staff, knowledgable. In touch with other boaties to understand where the dolphins were. Once we saw them we stayed by for a while. Was awesome.
