“This is our 2nd year in a row doing this trip and both have been different, despite being the same! Dolphins were seen both times, though that is purely down to if they are wanting to show themselves. This time around the display was better than ever! Last year's sunset was stunning, this year we had a bit of cloud though the sky was still really pretty to see. Boat staff and food still very good, just like last time. For a 3 hour trip, it is enjoyable and good value for money.”
