A great day on the water even though we did not see any whales or dolphins. The crew and staff were friendly and provided us a voucher to use later since we got skunked on seeing anything.

We were spell bound by All the dolphins surrounding us, great hosts, catamaran wasn’t overly crowded. An altogether good time-even without whales-and excellent weather the day we went . I believe that says it all.
