I am so glad I took this tour. Captain Andy was great with the boat and the history of the island, and answered our questions enthusiastically. Make sure you eat before taking this tour, wear bug repellent, a hat or shades, and water on the boat during the warmer months. The tour does stop at a couple of stores on the island, but you will possibly get thirsty before arriving to the island. The boat ride to the island is about 45 minutes. On the way back from island, we saw a couple of dolphins. This was a great hidden island with amazing history. You will not regret taking this tour.
