Captain John was wonderful as well as his side kick, Layla. We saw multiple dolphins, jumped in with them, saw turtles, rays and crabs. He also took us to a private beach to search for shells and carried our bucket full back for us. It was great to customize for what we wanted to do as we had a 14, 12 and 10 year old. Great time was had by all!!!”
