  • 5Perfect night!

    The sunset dolphin cruise was perfect. The captain was very personable, a great guide pointing out the dolphins (and there were many!), and took us to his favorite spot to watch a beautiful sunset.

  • 5Great trip

    We had an amazing time! PD was very friendly and knowledgeable and told us a lot of interesting facts about the area. We saw tons of dolphins; he took us up near the lighthouse and even swung by one of the locations from the Outer Banks show which our teen loved :) Thank you!
