We had a wonderful time on the catamaran looking out for dolphins, snorkeling and paddle-boarding. Staff was excellent! We also saw a lot of stingrays and dolphins. Although there weren't many fish to snorkel, it was still quite fun.

We love our dolphins. We want them to flourish so that future generations can enjoy their beauty. We hope that they will be as excited about seeing us as are we! Unfortunately, that would mean they were being fed by people from boats. This is illegal and dangerous for the dolphins.
