We had an incredible experience. Capitan Roy is a former Sherrif so we felt confident about our safety. We saw alligators, birds and had a really fun ride. At first, we were concerned about not having a canopy on our boat since it was a really sunny day until we understood it was for safety reasons. I guess canopies can get caught in a wind gust and make the boats unstable. It was GREAT! My advice is to bring a hat, sunscreen, and a bandana. I can't say enough about Capitan Roy, he made our trip really special. Terri in the office was fantastic too!
