I expected a bit more. You boarded boat, employee was pleasant and informed. Her info lasted about 6-8 minutes and then you were in a boat ride. Not really scenic and a little cramped For Covid. I was not comfortable. Most of the experience was boring. When they pulled up the catch, it was j retesting and hands on. That lasted 10-15 minutes. That was great. I would Not recommend this tour unless you need a nap or want to buy some beer. I was Disappointed.

Disappointed with bringing NO shrimp home. Promised shrimp but got none. It was just a boat ride. Saw dolphins which as a plus
