5You gotta do it!!
It was a great experience We loved it so much that I'm booking again for Halloween.
4Lovely sunset cruise.
Enjoyed the 2 hours even though we didn’t see many dolphins. We did watch the sun set and watched a draw bridge open from our boat. The captain was very nice and moved us around a lot trying to find more dolphins. Anytime on the water in a boat is a good time! Be prepared to stand while waiting for captain to board. We were 30 minutes early as suggested and that 30 minutes there was nowhere to sit for most of the tourists.
5Captain Mike was great.....
Captain Mike was great.. we seen manatee, dolphins and either a shark or rays.., sunset was blocked by clouds but still a fun trip. Recommend!
