Overall, a nice option for those that are limited and cannot get in the water to see the fish otherwise. Girl who checked us in left her call on speaker the entire time we checked in, including asking our names/details, only to immediately go back to her call to tell here friend that she was only going to tell her friend her secret, etc etc.

I recommend walking in the water to get to the beach hut and check in. The sand is too hot above the shoreline. Forrest and Ryan were great! Please give them good tips at the end. They totally earn it.

The day we went, the water was pretty rough, so there wasn't as much to see. We did see about 5 fish.

Highly recommend especially if you have a child or family member that is nervous about being on a boat. We saw about a dozen different types of fish and thoroughly enjoyed the chit chat with the two crew members. It’s a quick trip and again, great for an introductory boat ride or if you have a child that is anxious about trying these types of things!

We went with a fairly large family group, ages 3 and up. The viewing was great! The captain knew exactly where to go for amazing viewing, and the guide had a great photo book for us to help identify a huge variety of fish! Id highly suggest this trip
