The Captain and the First Mate were very knowledgeable. The captain was able to get the dolphins to ā€œplayā€ with us.

Captain Eddie and his mate were both extremely knowledgeable about the ocean and all of the different ecosystems. It was very interesting to hear how everything was connected. We saw mating sharks, manatees, dolphins, and captain Eddie even got out to save a Pelican that was tangled in some fishing line. The island we stopped at for shelling was loaded with tons of different types of shells. I would definitely take this tour again. It was fun for all ages and the staff was very helpful in making sure all of the younger kids had some cool shells to take home.

Thanks for doing a review. Fortunately for the brown pelican, Capt Ed and Kim saw it's predicament and were able to untangle the fishing line before too much damage was done. Please do come back.
