Didn't see any dolphins. But saw a whale breach out of water a few times! SO COOL It was super cool to be out so far in the ocean. Very exhilarating. I honestly couldn't stop smiling and laughing the whole time. The lads that took us out were funny, nice and very helpful in any situation. Look after us very well. Definitely be back for our free trip.. WOOOOOO

It was great experience battling the waves! We did not get to see dolphins in action but we were given the dolphin guarantee that we can come back for free. The staff are commendable they are professional and helpful. I wish to come back in Byron and do it again! Awesome experience.

Great experience! We enjoyed this activity on Christmas eve and seen three different pods of dolphins which swam right by us! You also have to wave surf on the way back in which is a good laugh. (It also might be worth of saying anyone that gets sea sick should probably take some motion sickness tablets before they go out as I forgot)
