We had a fantastic time on our trip we had Gary our meet and greet and Carlos as our driver,Carlos was superb and drove in difficult conditions on the return trip. Clearwater beach was superb as was the dolphin encounter trip it really was breathtaking you should add videos and more photos because the quality would make this trip a sell out.The dvd didn’t work and it felt like Gary’s energy dropped on the return with limited communication especially when our return home was significantly delayed. With all that been said though we had a fabulous experience and would definitely do a trip in the future

The tour was really nice - we even got to see baby dolphins. We spend the rest of the time on the beach - it was not too long and short :)Our Tourguide Mauricio was just the best, super caring, helpful and friendly.

The dolphin encounter boat ride was awesome! Saw plenty of dolphins some even jumping around the water playing, it was great and the staff at the boat ride were all friendly . Clearwater beach and the vicinity is beautiful. The shuttle to and from the beach was uncomfortable we were 10 people in a van and the a/c didn’t reach much at the back where we sat both ways of the trip and could not hear much of what the driver was saying . He was friendly and polite though.
