5.00All about a local experience growing up on the island and on the water. Dolphins, wild ponies and an eagle were the wildlife. A gorgeous sunset completed the experience.

5.00Captain Shane was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave lots of tidbits of information the whole ride; stopped and gave us plenty of photo opportunities. He also willingly lent out his binoculars for distance viewing. The boat itself was comfortable and we had plenty of seating room. We got to see dolphins, the horse herds (from a distance), Oyster Catcher and other birds. We also got to see the lighthouse as well as catch a great sunset. We enjoyed the cruise and would recommend it for a chance to slow down and unwind at the end of the day.
