Though this is advertised as a sunset tour it’s actually NOT. It ended a full hour before sunset so IMO we were misled. The rest of the tour was good. We only saw a handful of dolphins but certainly understand this is out of their control. Our boat took on some water when we pushed off so I was sitting in 6” of water the whole time. I expect to get wet when kayaking but not to sit in a tub. Our tour guides were friendly and shared interesting information.

We don't want anyone out on the water after dark so apologize if the actual sun setting was enjoyed from the beach. We can't control the dolphins and all of our literature states that it is not 100% guarantee due to the fact that dolphins are indeed wild animals. The kayak taking on water is our responsibility and we apologize for that experience. I'll be happy to refund your money so please let me know. Glad you enjoyed the guides.

My son and I booked a kyacking tour and it exceeded our expectations. The guides were wonderful although I can't remember their names. We were literally surrounded by dolphins. A couple actually swam underneath us! Some were jumping and playing. This was the highlight of our whole trip! I'm giving them 5 stars but they deserve more!

Being out in the ocean was wonderful! Brought 3 teen boys who genuinely enjoyed the kayaking and seeing dolphins up close. All of us were first time kayakers— very professional guides. Highly recommended.
