We were about to raise the dud alert 45 minutes into the tour with no dolphins in sight and the captain just telling pickle jokes to fill the time … then we started to get some action: first a pair of baby and mom dolphins, then two more, then a triplet diving synchronously, then a quadruple, and all madden below loose with dolphins all around us. I actually started to get sick of them, which I guess means I got my moneys worth! Then as we were leaving, a couple dolphins followed alongside our boat swimming full speed and diving up and around us, like they were playing a sport. I’ve read that dolphins are possibly more intelligent than humans, and this corroborated that. They’re living the good life it seems!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER !!! DONT BOOK ! To start they are very unprofessional. First they gave me the wrong Address, so I could not find the building . Then when I called them multiple times , they proceeded to hang up on me . The customer service lady was so rude and unprofessional. Since they gave me the wrong address I was late by 5 minutes and they said I couldn’t go on the tour . I asked for a refund , they said they wouldn’t give me a refund , Mind you I booked up 200$ in tickets for my family. I would not recommend them to anyone !!!!! This is the worst tour experience i have ever experienced!!! Just HORRIBLE!!!!

Unfortunately, you have not told the entire story. You used a very condescending derogatory name when addressing our employee. The address you had was correct as verified by our employee. We called several times and it went to voicemail. You were 10 minutes late, not 5. Our trips are run consecutively and on a tight schedule. We cannot hold up our other paying customers that made their departure time. We did offer to reschedule you and you refused. Had you arrived on time, you would have experienced an awesome tour as is reflected by the many positive reviews previously made. We're so sorry you missed the trip.
