    We had a great time with Cindy and Erin!! We didn’t get to see any pilot whales or mantas but we did see dolphins and the snorkeling was fantastic. We knew it could be hit or miss with the others! We learned a lot about the history of the island and the coastline! It was a small group and I highly recommend this tour! We would definitely book it again.
