Captain Paul S. was a fantastic guide!! We found so many shells and my kids had a blast. He let my boys drive the boat and we got a dolphin show as they jumped and played in the wake of our boat. Highly recommend!!!

We went on August 1st and our guide Jamie was great! We highly recommend this trip. On the way out to Kice Island and on the way back, Jamie was able to get dolphins to ride and jump in the wake of the boat! That was so cool! On Kice Island, she helped everyone in finding shells and identifying them. Great trip!
