Perfect excursion!!! - The trip was amazing! We saw numerous dolphins and many different kinds of cool sea birds. The tour operators were knowledgeable and friendly, and the two hour time limit was perfect for me since I have a disability and excursions can be challenging. I would totally recommend!

Amazing experience! - We LOVED our trip with Captain Kevin! He shared a lot of cool information about the island and animals which was so interesting. We saw a pod of four dolphins and Captain Kevin was able to get them to surf behind our boat. It was incredible! The stop at the island for shells was incredible! We got 14 sand dollars, amazing shells, and it was truly beautiful. No one else was on our tour and the island was completely empty except for us. A once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend this tour!
