Summary: This was a very cool experience... but i'd liken it to riding a roller coaster. Very fast boat on very choppy water...

Summary: This was amazing - I cannot recommend it enough. Our boat operator was brilliant and knew a lot about the area and we saw seals, dolphins and he took us into a cave. Our tour was scheduled for an hour but as we were coming back into the marina we saw a dolphin and he sat out on the water for an extra 15mins so we could watch the dolphin play. Definitely worth the money and the best part of my trip.
