5.00We took our family of 5 (kids age 11, 8 & 6) on a tour. Lauren was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to chat with and she's great with kids. We saw manatees and dolphins up close and even spent some time on a beautiful beach. We will definitely go on this tour again during another family vacation!
Perfect day on the water
