Folks I highly recommend this tour. My girlfriend and I were greeted at the marina by the super friendly Emily and Captain Rob and off we went. First of all it’s a private excursion and you get 100% of their attention. We saw a bunch of other boat tour participants on the islands we visited that had to wait for their ride to come back and pick them up. We, on the other hand were able to dictate where and when we wanted to go. We visited a couple of the protected islands and went shelling on each but that wasn’t the best part. While on the water we saw so many sea birds and dolphin pods that swam super close to the boat. We even saw a giant sea turtle that surfaced next to our boat for a few seconds before diving back down to safety! Very rare from what I hear.
Throughout the entire tour Emily, who is amongst other things is a conservationist and wildlife rescue expert, educated us on all the wonders of this ecological paradise! Captain Rob was extremely knowledgeable on navigating the waterways which made our entire trip a smooth one despite some semi-rough swells.
We had a great time but my only complaint is that we didn’t book a longer tour! Lol. 4 hours flies by when you’re having fun. Thanks Emily and Rob! You made the beginning of our vacation great.
