5.00Great experience to learn about the coastal bays with hands on fishing with net experience. Captain and guide were great at pointing out dolphins, osprey, landmarks and sharing how the bays are cared for.
So much wildlife to see!!

5.00The captain (I unfortunately forgot his name) and 2 educators (Steve and Paige) were very knowledgeable. They pointed out so many varieties of birds , explained the habitats and coast lines . The children in the families on the tour seemed to enjoy it very much. The hands on part was great! They supplied binoculars which certainly helped locating the birds. We even saw the horses! I would highly recommend this trip !
Highly recommend

5.00My family group had a great time on this tour in July 2022 and loved it. The boat is small (seats about 16 people), with a driver and a volunteer from the Maryland Coastal Bays Environmental Program. It was a beautiful morning and a nice time out on the water, and we saw birds, dolphins, and ponies. I would suggest bringing a pair of binoculars if you have them!
Best boat tour in OCMD!
