This was A THOUSAND times...

This was A THOUSAND times worth the money!!!! Captain John is truly amazing he keeps it honest and goes above and beyond for everyone to have a great experience!! He puts safety first over everything else but makes sure this experience is well worth it. He finds the sea life and educates you about many things while you go and have a great time. He is so good with kids my husband and I couldn’t be more pleased with our time spent with captain John our kids cant wait to go back!! Memories that will always stay with you are made from this trip!!!!

Dolphin and Snorkeling tour

Did a fantastic tour that allowed us to swim with dolphins, snorkeling and an impromptu visit with a manatee! Captain Jon was AWESOME!!! He was attentive, fun and made sure we had a great time. While we were snorkeling we found a ton of sand dollars. We highly recommend going and ask for Captain Jon!!! Don't forget to tip your Captain he is amazing.

Great Experience

We had a great time. Hunter was polite, helpful, and provided us some knowledge about the area and the dolphins. He put us on some dolphins early and we were able to see them up close. The kids loved it.
