5.00A spur of the moment spontaneous decision while browsing what to do online, on the fly on the go turned into an one of a kind experience. The excitement and look on her face drew attention from other passengers. I enjoyed the experience. Knowing I made my daughters birthday special...made me happy.

5.00Everyone was friendly and helpful. We saw tons of dolphins and birds. Had a peaceful, calm & relaxing boat ride. Loved the fact that that had cushioned seats at the front of the boat as well as chairs with tables to sit at. Very nice! Our only hiccup was not their fault but warning to check ahead ( I did not) there was a marathon being run and all the parking garages were prepay ahead only. Fortunately, we had arrived extra early because after driving around for an hour someone was leaving a street parking spot so we took it. Had to walk about half a mile but still made it there in time. Like I said, not their fault but might check to see if there is an event before booking.
