This trip was so much fun for my entire family. We had an 8, 10, 13, and 17 year old with us. We got to see a bonnethead shark, barracuda, various fish, Spoonbills, and TONS of birds. I highly recommend going! We will definitely go again when we are back down.

My entire family of 6 enjoyed this tour! It was so much fun. Cameron and Ashley are great tour guides and are very knowledgeable. They also made sure my kids felt safe and comfortable. We saw a manatee from afar, a bonnethead shark, fiddler crabs, spoonbill birds, a weird looking bird with HUGE eyes, a blue heron, a barracuda and lots of fish and birds! We will definitely be back!
