While the usual route for a scenic tour was interrupted due to a swimming event, Captain Kevin took us around several of the islands and Fort Williams. We were able to see some dolphins and pulled up to a beautiful island inn where they allowed us to quickly moor and run ashore for a view from the inn.” - Reviewed on 2024-08-17
