Unexpected great tour....

Unexpected great tour. Our original one in the morning was cancelled and they put us on the longer afternoon one with snorkeling for the same price. Saw lots of dolphins and manatees too.

Family fun adventure

This was such an amazing excursion! The ride to the island was quick and we saw a ton of dolphins and manatees on the way. They even swam along side the boat with us and we were able to stop for a bit to enjoy them. The captains were so friendly and made the whole experience fun for the entire family. We had about 1.5hr on the beach/in the water to find shells and boy did we find some good ones. My kids didn’t want it to end. They are still talking about this adventure. We will definitely be doing this again. So worth the money. We had a blast!

We look forward to seeing you next time! Thank you so much for your awesome review!
