From the minute we arrived the staff were so friendly!! Thank you Captain Jason, Fray and Denise for making our trip so memorable and your knowledge of the dolphins was brilliant. We had a mix of ages with us and the staff were very accomodating. The boat was very comfortable, nice size not too many people and containers to keep... More

Amazing. 2 minutes only after getting out of the harbour, there they were ! already ! We saw over 50 dolphins today, may be more. It was great. Suprised to see we didn't need to go further than just out of the harbour...indeed that was a short ride(!), but hey! we were here for the dolphins, right ? not for... More

Our cruise ship arrived on schedule at 7 am but unfortunately their tendering process left much to be desired and we hadn't even gotten off the ship by Sunlight on Water's check-in time of 7:30.

We did the manta ray tour on 04/12/13. The crew was very friendly. We spent about an hour in the water total. We only saw a couple manta rays, but it was quality time with them. Once they came around, they stayed around and were very entertaining doing backflips while feeding on plankton. The price was very reasonable as well.... More

Loads of snacks and... More

We had a great trip. My seven year old loved it. Brie and Faye were awesome with him making him feel comfortable in the water. The crew catered to all our needs even my slight sea sickness. The dolphin snorkle was incredible. Definetly would do it again. Can say enough good things about the trip.
