Went with my girlfriend for the 3hr dolphin & whale tour and honestly it was even better than we hoped. Saw a bunch of dolphins right off the side of the boat (they’re actually so fast!) and two whales just chilling. The crew kept making jokes and explaining what we were seeing, which I appreciated cause I always have a million questions. We jumped in for a swim at the cove, water was freezing at first but felt amazing after being in the sun. The sandwich situation is simple but fresh, and drinks were flowing (pro tip: ask for the pineapple juice, sooo good). Maybe a bit crowded but didn’t bother us much. 100% would do again.

Loved the dolphins, didn’t love the wait to board. We were a group of 6 (my fam + a friend) and had to wait at the pier like 20 mins past our time. Not a huge deal but kids got fidgety. Once onboard though, all was forgiven! Crew is super chill, gave my youngest a little captain hat. Water was a bit choppy but no one got seasick. Saw dolphins (not super close, but still cool) and a glimpse of a whale. Definitely recommend bringing sunscreen, I got a bit crispy. Would’ve given 5 stars if not for the boarding delay.
