The trip was great. The Captain was extremely friendly and helped the kids whenever needed. My kids had a wonderful time and are already asking to go again.

Great boat ride. Captain was very friendly showed us around the best bars. He actually waited for us to be able to see a family of dolphins swimming by.

We went on the safari boat tour and it was awesome! We saw the wild horses and the dolphins were so close to us! Our boat driver/guide, Logan, was great also. Very funny and informative, definitely would go again if we ever come back to OC. 10/10 would recommend.
