5.00Beautiful day and a wonderful time. The crew was knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw lots of dolphins and the captain was able to encourage one to surf in the waves in the wake of our boat. We even saw a manatee! On the island, we were given ample time to explore and look for shells. We found dozens of conch shells. Thanks for a great day!
Would highly recommend

5.00Tour was wonderful. Captain and naturalist were friendly and informative. The boat is nice and clean, plenty of room for everyone and a bathroom. The naturalist was educational and the kids enjoyed that. We saw dolphins and the island we went to for shelling was beautiful with calm, crystal clear waters and a sand bar. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family in the area.
Highly Recommend.
