The boat ride was EXCELLENT!! I cannot remember his name, but the Captain of the boat was amazing and very knowledgeable. He shared his knowledge and information to us. He did above and beyond to make this experience just amazing. I would recommend this company if you want a tour to find the ponies and other wildlife. VERY GOOD TOUR!!!!👍👏

Mike is an excellent captain and tour guide. Due to traffic I was late and he waited on my mother and I to arrive. Likewise, she is injured and he lifted her off the boat so she wouldn’t fall. Basically he went above and beyond. Likewise, he took us to both the north and south end of the bay, ensuring that we would see ponies. We saw tons of ponies, which made the experience awesome. I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re in the area. Mike is very knowledgeable about the area, and very personable. It was an all around great day!
