5.00Excellent trip and operator was GREAT! We saw a lot of ponies and dolphins. He went out earlier to scout for the ponies and it was so much fun getting so close to them. With only 5 people it was very nice. He was wonderful interacting with our 10 year old granddaughter!
Great tour!

5.00Mike is a spectacular resource. With a limit of 6 folks per trip, it was intimate and Mike catered to our whims and requests. That he knows everything about the ponies, the waterways and local history made it perfect. We will be back in the fall!
Great tour!
