We first travel 2 miles alongside the historical Queen Isabel Causway until we reach the inside canals in Port Isabel known as little Venice Italy. Your professional guide will give you insight into the surrounding areas while you continue your experience under bridges and through the waterways. After passing the huge fishing and shrimping boats we continue into the Brownsville shipping channel, home to many of our local wild dolphins. Afterward is South Bay where you can see the Space X Star Ship Rocket Launch facility and then pass the Gulf of Mexico.

1.00If you have anything come up and would like to reschedule or would like to transfer to another activity they will not do it. I booked this for my husband for his birthday. We had gone out the night before with some family to celebrate. We are planning to get a taxi and head to our hotel when we witnessed a horrible accident in front of Kelly’s and Casa Bella hotel. We ran over there trying to help the people in the accident, calling 911, and making sure that the people injured were staying still. By the time that we made it back to the hotel and was finally trying to go to sleep it was about 4:30-5 in the morning. The appointment was at 9 but me and my husband were both physically and mentally exhausted. I called and asked them if I could reschedule for a later time or a later date. I was told no. I had told them what had happened but they did not care. I got off the phone with them and then my husband tried calling them and asking if we could transfer our booking to a cheaper excursion. We were charged the full amount of the jet ski tour ( about $380) and they would not let us use the jet skies for 20 minutes, or any of there other excursions. I believe the jet ski tour was the most expensive item they had and we were not able to get anything out of it. I understand that it was with in the 24 hours of the booking, but I had planned for us to go to the hotel and go to bed and have enough sleep to get up and enjoy our excursion. What had happened was horrible and tragic but they had no sympathy. They would not work with us at all.
Good times!!
