Our family tour was such a phenomenal experience, we knew it would be fun time but Captain Nate went above and beyond so that we could experience all that Marco sea life had to offer! Dolphins, turtles, different types of fish along with the various species of birds. Our Captain was extremely attentive and knowledgeable which made this experience 5 star! Definitely will do again next year!!
