Had the time of our lives! Expensive, but worth it. Dolphins need to eat and food isn't cheap. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Marley was amazing. So knowledgeable and kind. She was very compassionate about my elderly mother and offered us some much needed air after I pushed my mom up the steep hill in her wheelchair. It was a very hot day and we're from Ohio so we're definitely not used to it. I will come back here every year I'm in St. Augustine.
