All l can say is, “Holy Cow!” This trip far exceeded our expectations!! Captain Yak is the absolute BEST! It was so great, that my daughter and I booked another adventure on the next available day! We encountered dolphins, the coolest green eyed birds (I forgot their name!), three different types of mangrove trails, and had an incredibly informative adventure! Captain Yak is so knowledgeable and he has such an incredible respect for the wildlife and the environment! Now I can’t wait to come back to St. Pete to bring more of my family on a grande adventura! Thank You Captain Yak, see you again soon!!!!!
