Summary:
Loved the long ride thru several canals to get to the Gulf Of America! It took about 40 ‘minutes and was so peaceful. We did see several dolphins and they had a baby with them. Ocean water was chopped but we felt very safe with Captain Martin.

Summary:
What fun! We saw so many dolphins, it was relaxing and joyous. Wouldn’t trade the experience for any other boat tour available here. Martin was kind and easy going. Loved going through the canals looking at the mangroves before hitting the gulf. Would definitely recommend!
