Seating
There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating is a long bench along the side of the boat.
Once you are seated, you are there until everyone else in the row moves. If you feel like you want to move around, you may want to wait or sit until the bench is partially filled.
The indoor seating is padded benches next to windows for viewing. The people who sat indoors were able to move quickly to the front of the boat when dolphins were sighted.
