    We had a fantastic time on this trip. We saw dolphins, manatees, flamingos, great white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, osprey and great blue heron. Jeff was a great guide, funny, knowledgeable and kept us right. He even took time to show us the black and red mangroves and explained their importance to us. Highly recommend.
