    We went on a dolphin tour last night. The captain was fantastic. We saw tons of dolphins, some of them flipped out of the air. And even smacking their tails on the water, the captain was very knowledgeable and nice answered all of our questions. And made it a really fun time. I highly recommend if you want to go to see dolphins.You need to go on this ferry
