Our guide was Capt Shane, on a small skiff, with 6 customers. We saw multiple pods of dolphins, 2-6 each, several of which came right up to the side of our skiff. There was also a herd of about 8 ponies, with some right near the water, so we could see them well. And there was an osprey, too
Capt Shane was very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all our questions, and he provided a running commentary about everything that we saw. He was also a great conversationalist, so we felt like we were friends by the end of the trip.
It was a blast!

Captain Shane was very accommodating of my request to see birds- we toured a spot that included Caspian Tern and Marbled Godwit!
The close views of dolphin where lovely as well!

Such a great company, They are so persoable and amazing. The Sunset cruise was beautiful but the area is that. Capt. Mark brought you into his family and made you feel apart of his. His partner on the boat was super knowlegdable and so wonderful in sharing information and her love of the area.

We had hoped to see more wildlife. The dolphins were closer to the boat but wild horses and the one eagle were much farther away to see. I had originally scheduled a sunset cruise but the tour operator requested we come earlier so the boat would be full. Sunset cruise only had us. The earlier cruise had 15 which included a two year old girl who cried for over an hour. Not sure young children are appropriate for this trip. Photos taken with a long zoom lens didn’t show much.

Captain Shane was amazing and very thorough! If you come during fall definitely bring a jacket and they allow concealed drinks!
