Summary: Unreal tour! I was hoping to see only 1 or 2 dolphins but actually seeing 50! They love swimming around the boat and I took so many videos to the point I don’t have enough storage left on my phone.

Absolutely a goated tour and a hundred percent recommend to anyone who want to have a close encounters with the dolphins!
