The search lasted about 3 hours but we only saw about 8 dolphins for 10mins. Thought we would see more. Never mind.

We enquired about swimming with sea lions, but that attraction is not presently available. So we chose the dolphin search instead. We enquired about the use of Sea Scooters (which you can view on the website of... More
