Captain Alex was fun, thoughtful and very knowledgeable of the area. We saw Dolphins, sea turtles, and swan at a secluded beach with all sea shells. He even thought stop and take a picture of our family in the setting sun. Definitely will be back!

Booked a tour for Saturday morning for me and my daughter. I literally planned my entire trip around this tour and the boat wouldn't start. I was told someone would call me later that day to see if the boat could be fixed and we could still go out on our tour. Its been 2 days and 4 phone calls with no response on a refund or ANYTHING

Best part of our trip! Alex was entertaining, he explained several things along the way, and gave us dining options. We saw so many dolphins and one sea turtle. Alex was so much fun and we all had a wonderful time.

Just came back from our tour with Captain Alex. Had an AMAZING time. We saw several dolphins and he was even able to get up close to a spotted sting ray. At the end he even jumped in the water to help with my shell collection. Shared a lot of fun facts about the area and recommended a few places to visit while we’re here. Def will book again and will absolutely request Captain Alex when we do!

Snorkling with dolphins and other fish was the highlight of the trip! My 3 year old granddaughter even did it and had a blast. Captin Alex was awesome and very down to earth! He was very knowledgeable of the area and sealife. He took us to a very cool, secluded spot where we were able to swim with dolphins and other fish. We saw sharks, sting rays, turtles, and jelly fish! We had a great time!

Viator never sent my request for the trip. They had at least a three hour window to send request and the Capt. never received it.

No communication. Drove there to be cancelled due to weather. Was told they would call at 12 to reschedule for the afternoon, never heard from anyone. Still no refund and zero communication.
