Groups of all sizes seem to have equally great experiences, with many vowing to return on future trips to the area.
Mary was the best hostess, our captain was excellent. Saw dolphins within minutes of leaving dock! Beautiful cruise out to different feeding waters where again we saw lots of dolphins. They answered all questions and the kids in the cruise had lots of fun!
