Captain Joey was fantastic. It was just four of us and he made it a wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable and fun!

This was a delightful experience through and through. The guides were excellent and the wildlife were plentiful. I can’t say enough about how relaxing and worthwhile it was. Especially good for those who may get a little boat sick — easy!
