An amazing experience - definitely recommend it for all ages

The crew were so lovely. They were all very helpful and had lots of knowledge to share. They took photos of our whole family on our phones while we were in the front net. The kids ages 7, 8 and 12 all had such an amazing experience. We saw so many dolphins playing in the ocean at multiple locations. This was such a great evening - we were on the 5.30pm session. We were able to go in the side net on the way back and that was so much fun. So make sure you wear your swimmers so you don't miss out on that experience. We would all love to do this again!
