Awesome fun! Exciting and well worth the cost. It takes a little time to get comfortable with the cats but the guide was highly informative and patient. Just do it and have fun!

We throughly enjoyed our 2.5 hours on the water, including a stop on White Horse Island. Our guide (Tyler) was fun yet professional and our safety and enjoyed weā€™re both very important to him. After a lesson in how to operate the Craig Cat we headed out onto the water. It was perfect as we started slowly then built up to eventually heading at full speed across stretches of water and through narrow mangrove waterways . Tyler managed to find us a number of small groups of dolphins over the experience and we got to watch the beautiful creatures up close and almost at their level. The stop on White Horse Island was the icing on the cake. It is a beautiful secluded island with sandy beaches and I found some intact empty shells (after hunting on other beaches to no avail). Hints for new by Craig Cat drivers on this experience - wear a swimming costume and sandals (rather than clothes and shoes) as you will get wet. A towel isnā€™t required (keep one in the car for when you return). Neither is water as you are given a cool box with a litre of water per person. Finally a hat is also pointless as it will blow off and the Craig Cat has a little canopy which can be pulled out to shade you. I would throughly recommend this experience as itā€™s really fun, is unique and is a great way to get out into the wilderness to find some great views and some wildlife to observe.

We had a great time on our tour last week with Jason. We were able to see lots of dolphins. Make sure to wear your bathing suit & bring sunscreen.
