Boating trip
2 Hour –Dolphin River Tour Anytime on April 15, 20263 adults

Captian was very talkative telling us about the different birds and when the dolphins appeared. He also told us a little about himself which was nice. He also pointed out the different houses. I would highly recommend this captain to anyone wanting to do this boat trip
