What an amazing family day excursion. The kids and adults loved all the knowledgeable information from our captain Daniel. And of course the highlight for all were the Hector’s dolphins ! We also liked riding the waves at the front of the boat 😊. Not to big the captain made sure it was safe. Would definitely recommend this to families with kids.Two hours on a comfortable boat with excellent commentary and friendly helpful staff.
