Great soothing ride along the cliffs with these dolphins around the boat. Beautiful I advise. The water was unfortunately too cold for me to bathe

Took a morning catamaran boat ride to see dolphins and it did not disappoint. Saw tons of dolphins once we got closer to the island we were headed towards. The tour guide was very communicative about the tour. Overall great, relaxing tour
