The Captain shared facts and the area as he drove us are the bay. Our riders were low key which I loved because it let us enjoy the natural environment without distractions. We finally found a manatee and she had a newborn which was extra special. He also steered us by some newborn osprey at sunset. If you like a quiet evening on the water this is a good way.
