We decided to try the 5:30 pm tour. Its an additional 5 bucks for parking, but that is no biggie. Our guides Matt and Mia were awesome. They genuinely seemed interested in ensuring you had a great time . The dolphins were quiet on the evening we went out so Matt was constantly checking to make sure everyone in the group was OK venturing out a bit further in search of dolphins, We didn't see large group (you can't book nature), but we did see several, some within 5' of our kayak. Other things worth noting. They bring a "wet bag", so your wallet, phone and key fob and other items will stay safe in case you get wet (most likely) or capsize: no fear of that on our tour as the water was very calm. This is a totally relaxing and enjoyable family thing to do: seeing the dolphins is an added bonus! Thanks Matt and Mia for a great two hours!

Our kayak trip was magnificent! We loved the views, the team work, and the dolphins! The guides were great at explaining what we were going to do. Hayes gave us some suggestions on how to paddle efficiently before we were out on the water. While we were gliding along he gave us some information about the area including historical landmarks and cool facts about dolphins. The only hiccup in the trip was one of the kayaks taking on too much water. It was a bit scary for those in the water, but the guides handled the situation perfectly. They had told us about the water being more shallow in the bay, which made it better for the dolphins to eat, so we felt very safe. While two guides helped the flooded kayak situation, the other guide, Andrea, took care of the rest of us. She was fantastic. She talked with those at the front of the group and was patient with everyone at the back. All three of the guides went above and beyond for our group. We saw plenty of dolphins, and we took our time watching them come close and then play with their pod. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone! It's a great opportunity for beginners and experts alike. The guides really made sure that we were all enjoying our time out on the water and seemed to genuinely care about everyone.
