Had a great trip, saw lots of dolphin, pelican diving for fish and a sealion playing with and eating a ray. Nice smooth trip but got some exciting speed and water bumps as well. Great way to see the harbour area and the coastline. Dustin was very cheerful and helpful. Would highly recommend.
Such a great experience
