It was a wonderful day spending time with my family seeing a momma dolphin and her calf, a manatee, hunting sea shells with my girls. Captain Dalton was very personable and knowledgeable of the wildlife and the area. This will be one of our great family memories

The overall experience was good. Captain Kurt not Kirk was awesome. And he is hired to do where he is supposed to go. He was very informative and made sure we were safe. However. The entire trip we saw one 3 inch fish and 3 manatees swimming in the waters near boats. No dolphins. I understand that they can’t control the fish. But they can control where they bring us. And maybe change it up. I saw more fish the day before at the Florida Aquarium then on this excursion. The point I’m trying to make is maybe change up locations. To See if there are fish in other places. Would I go again …. No. But it was a fun afternoon.

Thank you for the kind words towards Captain Kurt. But your expectations are clearly unrealistic. Comparing the wildlife you see on an eco-tour to what you see at the Florida Aquarium is a bit irrational. You realize the wildlife at the aquarium is in captivity, don't you? So you've only taken a single tour with us, and yet you make the poor assumption that we go to the same locations every time. Every tour the captains will go to the best locations depending on currents, tides, water clarity, and sea states. These factors are constantly changing all day long and we adjust where we stop accordingly. Because its an eco-tour. Perhaps you should just stick to going to the aquarium.

We had a fantastic time. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We saw dolphins several times. Our entire family loved shell island. My granddaughter was very excited about the different shells she found. Would definitely do it again.
