Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
We saw dolphins stunning fish with their tails! My daughter also saw sand dollars, and we enjoyed swimming in the clear waters off of Shell Island. The captain located dolphins several times, allowing us to get quite close to them.
The boat was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Although a center console boat, there was shade in the front seats.
Captain Kerry was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He tailored the tour according to water clarity, activity levels around Shell Island, and dolphin activity.
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
I would definitely recommend this tour as the Captain tailored it to activity levels at Shell Island, water clarity, and dolphin locations.
