What a nice group of people working for Scallywag! I got my husband this special present & boy!! did he have a great time!!!! The ladies in the office were very nice & patient with us as this was our first time doing this sort of thing. And the pilot! What a nice man he was! He made sure that my husband enjoyed every single minute! All in all, it was a wonderful experience & I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it. (it's listed as the Bolivar Lighthouse Tour, but the weather was a bit too windy & he never saw the Bolivar Light)

Absolutely amazing. My dad who is 89 and a retired Air Borne Ranger and a friend went on the tour from all around the island and over to Boliver. Such an amazing experience. Even for us who stayed on the ground. Thank you Emma for being a great pilot
