Great way to learn about shrimping and identifying the many different creatures caught in the nets. Only the shrimp are kept, all else is released back in the ocean. My favorite was a small butterfly ray (no stinging barb), soft as velvet and fun to handle. Dolphins even made an appearance but didn’t hang around. The crew was very engaging and explained the shrimping process in great detail. The Captain was especially personable. Shrimp are divided up at the end so whoever wanted could take their share home, making the cost of this excursion even less expensive. Great fun for kids and adults alike. Plenty of shade on the boat if you go on a hot day. Definitely recommend this trip. Taking the head off the shrimp is not for everyone, but it’s optional and we decided to leave it for the experts!

This was a fantastic tour! We learned so much about the local sea life and saw SO many dolphins too. Lucy was an amazing guide! Would definitely take this cruise again.

No shrimp caught and the people did not seem very knowledgeable. Nice people but we didn’t catch any shrimp nor did the group before us.
