Beverly Turbin5.0VerifiedDolphin Trip
Sightseeing/Dolphin Tour on February 16, 2019 • 5 adultsScott had dolphins swimming right up to the side of the boat and jumping behind the boat multiple times. The kids and us adults were all amazed, and his knowledge of them was fascinating as well. He was so approachable and very patient with our 3 kids, they haven’t stopped talking about it since
