Such a wonderful evening and a memory we’ll treasure long after this trip! Read less

It's so good to have a dolphin trip. In this wide and wavy ocean, i don't think it is a simple matter to meet the dolphins. But we met some and they are all so big and black. It is so lucky for us, even it happened when we are in the return back side. And so happy to have XiaoQi for this trip.
