Craig was awesome! Knowledgeable and patient, he even turned the boat around to scoop up someone’s hat that had blown into the water. Be sure to bring a cooler with water, it was very hot (August.) The island was a nice adventure… lighthouse, beached sailboat, plenty of beautiful shells. Our group were super lucky to also see an abundance of dolphins. I recommend this excursion, book early in the morning especially if you have kids… HOT.

Loved seeing oldest lighthouse and the dolphins! There are a lot of seashells too. Very relaxing. Just a tip…bring a bottle of water for yourself.
