Great tour! - We had a great time on this tour! Easy to find the dock and our Captain/Crew. We took a nice cruise through the islands and saw many types of birds. We then hooked up with a few dolphins while we made our way to the shelling island. The island was pristine and had hundreds of birds nesting in the sand. This particular day the shelling was average but we did find a nice amount of beauties. Captain Ed and his first mate, Kim, were terrific and very informative throughout. Definately recommend this tour. We also liked that it was just 2 hours, which was plenty for us!
