We did a sunset cruise with Captain Shane last evening. The s Dolphins were out in full force and Captain Shane followed them and gave us ample time to watch and enjoy them. We also saw Bald Eagles and other birds. Shane explained the pony swim and readily answered all our questions about the island and wildlife Shane was engaging and numerous. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him

We saw dolphins which was great! The sunset view was amazing. Con - the boat seems like it doubles as a fishing boat? Cleanliness was not to my standards

Very interesting info from guide and Beautiful scenery, had a wonderful time. I didn’t give it five stars because (not their fault) I didn’t get my pony fix!
