5.00This experience was absolutely phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations! From the start, Captain Jack and Emelia were amazing funny, welcoming, and full of family-friendly humor we truly appreciated. Their knowledge of the island was incredible and made the trip even more special. “Vanishing Island” itself was beyond anything I imagined. My kids had the unforgettable opportunity to help return countless starfish and sand dollars back to the ocean something they’ll remember for a lifetime. The surprises didn’t stop there! On the way back, we were treated to an unforgettable dolphin sighting. Not only did we see them up close, but we even watched them breach the water and caught it all on video! This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I can’t recommend it enough.

3.00Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet out our excursion due to our boats engines breaking down. They got them up and running enough for us to idle and see some dolphins but didn’t make it to disappearing island. Thankfully we made it back safely and the company offered everyone refunds or credit towards a different experience.
