Not a terrific experience

2.00Very disappointed that the tour allowed was at high tide when they told us that it was low tide and the best time to see the wildlife. We were told that the boat was able to go places much closer to the wildlife due to the quiet nature of the solar powered boat. This seemed a good idea but turned out not to be the case. The boat trip just to get near the marshes took the first 30 minutes. All 4 of us were very disappointed in our choice.
Trip to serenity
