    Such delightful 4 hour cruise! Our guides generously encouraged us to use ginger/ anti nausea for the expected swells and came around w ginger hard candy - then the sun emerged and so many dolphins (200+) pranced about us- then many humpback sightings ( approx20) .. lots of seabirds and wildlife ..incredible adventuring and felt very safe thru out. Wonderful folks w this company.
