5.00Elliot and Sylvia were amazing guides and captains. They were full of information and made sure to point out every detail and answer any questions. We saw dolphins, Ospreys, and so many beautiful shells. We found some bonus goodies too (horseshoe crab molt and sea urchin). It was a perfect day. Highly recommend and I’ll be back to do it again.
Fun in the sun!
