Christmas Boat Parade
The Christmas Boat Parade is, by far, our most popular trip.
Normally it is booked out early in the year by one group or another, which left the general public out of the equation, so this year we decided to wait until later in the year and open the parade up to the general public individually and give them a chance to see the Christmas Boat Parade the way it's meant to be seen. So in October we opened it up for everybody.
Now, you have the opportunity to see the boat parade up close and personal and get a dolphin's eye view of the spectacular event for yourself and your family. This is your chance to create a wonderful Christmas memory for your family that will last a lifetime.
But don't delay; bookings for this event are sure to fill up quickly. Reserve your seat today and expose yourself and your family to a wonderous event that will surely create lifelong memories for you and your family.
Adults - $50.00
Children - $40.00
