Day 10: Dolphin Tour, Sea Kayaking, and Snorkeling

From the start today has been a busy day. We woke up around 6:30 am, headed to breakfast at 7, and then left for our dolphin tour. When we arrived, we got on a smaller boat that carried us to a bigger boat where we would departure for the tour. It was very hot and we were bouncing on humongous pacific waves. Although the rough ride left some feeling sea sick, it was an experience we will not forget. I sat on the upper deck with Mrs.Hayes, Gregory Lloyd, and Jake Levinson. The view was spectacular. We saw turtles mating, a manta ray, and dolphins jumping. After the tour ended, we had an amazing meal on the beach provided by the hotel. 

Once we all finished, we began our kayak ride to Chora, a little island off of the beach. It was about 15 minutes to kayak to the island. When we arrived, we got our snorkel gear on and headed into the water. Although the water was not very clear, you could see tons of fish. The most interesting thing I saw was a large Gold Faced puffer fish the guide found for us. I held the fish, and it was like one of those squishy balls you find in stores. It was awesome. Once we finished snorkeling, we ate some pineapple and headed back. We now are packing our suitcases to head home tomorrow. I'm sad to leave but the memories made here are ones I'll never forget. Thank you mom and dad for giving me the opportunity to come here. See you tomorrow evening. Pura Vida!
