Our guide, Marco, is knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure everyone was launched properly, ensuring a great start. We saw a bat fish, lots of herons and ospreys (seeing how often they actually caught fish). We found horse conchs and lightning welks. Marco shared insights on how they feed and what makes them unusual. Marco also explained how hurricane Irma affected the estuary. Very cool. Our party of 4 was joined by 2 other groups, so we totaled 9 people. Everyone arrived early, so we left early - giving us more time on the water. And we stayed out a bit longer than the 9-11AM tour. All good. We had a great day!

The tour was the highlight of our trip. Tour guide Mat was extremely friendly, he really knows everything about the animals and plants there, that was impressive. The tour lasts 2 hours, we could hold large shells with snails in our hands as well as a starfish. Really big compliments to Mat, he did it perfectly, unforgettable for us
