Great boat trip
3 Hr – Dolphin & Whale Watching on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults

Everything ran smoothly. Easy to book, staff were pleasant working efficiently and did their best to ensure passengers enjoyed the experience including a presentation on the types of dolphins and whales we had seen during the cruise.
