1.00Booked a tour for Saturday morning for me and my daughter. I literally planned my entire trip around this tour and the boat wouldn't start. I was told someone would call me later that day to see if the boat could be fixed and we could still go out on our tour. Its been 2 days and 4 phone calls with no response on a refund or ANYTHING
No refund

1.00Weather caused our trip to be cancelled by captain Ashley. She promised a refund that we, 2 months later, still have not received. Captain ashley also will not respond to calls or text messages. I do not recommend doing business since you will never hear from them again should weather cancel the trip, but then again you may just want to throw away $400
No refund

5.00Just came back from our tour with Captain Alex. Had an AMAZING time. We saw several dolphins and he was even able to get up close to a spotted sting ray. At the end he even jumped in the water to help with my shell collection. Shared a lot of fun facts about the area and recommended a few places to visit while we’re here. Def will book again and will absolutely request Captain Alex when we do!
Great trip for some Midwesterners

5.00Snorkling with dolphins and other fish was the highlight of the trip! My 3 year old granddaughter even did it and had a blast. Captin Alex was awesome and very down to earth! He was very knowledgeable of the area and sealife. He took us to a very cool, secluded spot where we were able to swim with dolphins and other fish. We saw sharks, sting rays, turtles, and jelly fish! We had a great time!
