We were spending a week in Bonita Springs, and pretty much intended to spend our days at either the beach or the pool. We always like to do one new thing each time we visit, and this tour caught our eye. I went with my boyfriend and my two young adult children. They warn you that there are not restrooms at the launch site, so they tell you to go to the nearby boat yard to use restrooms before arriving. I used my GPS to get to the boat yard, then when I tried to use it to find the launch site, NOTHING. No GPS signal at all. I was freaking out, and without cell service I couldn't even look up their phone number to call for directions. We just started driving down the street from the boat yard (you can only go in one direction) and then we saw some people walking and drove down to ask them for help when we realized they were in the parking lot of the launch site (big sign indicated where we were). So we got really lucky - but definitely plan for this if you go. Learning to steer the boat was a little tricky for my BF, but my son picked it up pretty easily. We were sunburned already from some overexposure earlier in the week, so we immediately put the shade screen into place before leaving which was really appreciated! You are still fairly exposed, so bring sunscreen, but it definitely helped keep your head and shoulders pretty covered. You start out slow in a no-wake zone, then you start picking up speed. That wasn't a problem until we started zig-zagging through mangroves - that made us pretty nervous and we definitely were lagging behind the others as we weren't brave enough to go full speed. Out in the open water we came across a pod of dolphins that were playing and jumping which was so cool to watch. Then we headed to the small island where we could get off our boats. We were given about 20 minutes to check out the beach (got a few awesome shells!), saw a ton of tiny little crabs, and managed to go into the water to cool off before getting back on our boats. Then the drive back to the launch area was pretty straightforward, but due to other boat traffic, we were bouncing around on others' wakes which added a little thrill to the experience! We loved every minute - it was fun to be on the water, you did get to see some things (but this is not a nature tour, so don't plan on it), and it was fun speeding along. Definitely plan to wear things that can get wet (those wakes sprayed us good), plus you might want to dip into the water to cool off the way we did on the island. Leave the towels in the car - they aren't really useful on the boat unless you are using them as a sun shield. There is a dry box for your phone if you need it, and I brought a small Ziploc bag to carry shells in. They give a small cooler with bottled water and ice to every boat, so you don't need to bring drinks. We really enjoyed it - you will too!
