The dolphin trip was cool. I never imagined that we would see as many dolphins as we did or that they would swim as close to our boats as they did... We could not have asked for a better gift.

Hi Randy! We wanted to say thanks for an exciting trip. We had a blast! You did an excellent job. It was the highlight of our vacation and an experience we will never forget.

We made it back home yesterday and I just want to say thank you again for the great day kayaking with the dolphins. It was hands down the kids' favorite activity for the week, even after going to Busch Gardens.
