My two teenage daughters and I not only had a chance to take in a beautiful and scenic sunrise, we were thrilled to have a lengthy, up close encounter with a pod of dolphins as they swam and played just a few feet from our paddleboards. A memorable experience to say the least. And, of course, all of this was capped with a delicious breakfast on the water. Thank you for the great memories, Aloysia!”
