πŸ‘πŸ‘ Booked this trip while in Oside for our Anniversary. What an incredible experience. So great to see the sunset over the ocean from the air. Got to see a huge pod of dolphins off Carlsbad. Pilot rocked it. Thanks a bunch. We'll be back. Definitely recommend these folks. You will not be sorry.
