Very informative. Plenty of time on the island. Comfortable ride. Not too long of a tour. Bathroom on board convenient.

Got to learn about and touch some sea life while riding out to go shelling. Got to get a bunch of pretty shells at the stop. Fun activity to start the day.

Excellent presentation by Marine Biologist Taylor. You may see dolphins! Not tons of shells but good fun for great price.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! One of our favorite parts of the Eco Cruise is sharing what makes our marsh ecosystem so unique. We're glad you enjoyed learning while exploring.

This trip is a great excursion for families. Hands on education about sea life, wonderful staff. Nice relaxing calm boat ride to island with free time to collect dozens of shells and walk along the beach. I'd recommend this for any family with kids who love nature or anyone who wants a nice relaxing morning on the water. Plan your trip for low tide for best experience IMO. It was wonderful!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Shanda! From shelling on the beach and learning about the marsh and all of it's unique creatures, we're so glad you enjoyed everything the Eco Cruise has to offer. We hope you'll join us again for another adventure next time.

This is a great short excursion. Very informative about sea life and even have some sea creatures on board for you to touch and hold. The staff was great! Only downside is that your on the boat more than you are out at the island. 30 mins isn’t really enough time to look around or enjoy the private island.

Had a great time. If there was a negative, it would have been the i formation shared on boat. I have a little hearing loss, but could not understand the information because of the microphone that was used. Distorted the words a little

Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear you had a great time overall. We appreciate your comments regarding the narration and understand that hearing information on the water can sometimes be challenging due to a combination of wind, guests talking, and other surrounding boat noise. We're happy you were able to enjoy the experience and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Sandals and swimwear are totally fine. When the ship stopped at the island, the water was very calm and beautiful.

Very laid back scenic boat trip and we were able to find a few good shells. Very informative and the tour guide was good at what she does.

This was a wonderful experience. The boat was clean and there was plenty of room for all the passengers. The presentation was very informative and interesting and getting the opportunity to interact with the sea life was very fun. We learned interesting facts, got to have hands on experiences and had a great time looking for shells! The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly also and answered questions freely, gave great information about boating and shared practical advice and stories. The marine biologist presented information in interesting ways and made sure everyone had the opportunity to interact with the sea life. She answered all questions asked and was very knowledgeable.
This was a wonderful, relaxing and informative experience that we enjoyed very much!!
We give them a 10 out of 10.
