The boat Captain (Greg) and mate (Scott) were great. Very helpful and even stopped the ferry to watch dolphin. Would recommend, especially with the low customer if the ticket.

Wonderful trip! Everyone was so nice. They stopped several times so that we could watch dolphins. The trip was easy to book online. The parking was easy. The ferry left and came back and the time we were told! Couldn’t have asked for a better group!

The price is just right for a nice little boat trip and stop and to relax while scouting for shells. Our captain and mate were very laidback and personable. I would definitely recommend this tour for all ages.
