Dolphin Quest Reviews
Crew was pleasant. Very enjoyable boat cruise with lots of really close dolphin experiences. I was concerned about motion sickness but the areas they go are shallow and calm. We fealt it was a great value. Highly recommend!
Been coming to the area for many years and never done a dolphin cruise til now. Saw lots of dolphins and great scenery.
We very much enjoyed the dolphin boat. We saw a mom and baby dolphin playing and a few other dolphins along the way. The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend!
