Captain Cathy is amazing! We took a Sunset Dolphin Tour with a 5 year old, a teenager, and my wife's parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Capt. Cathy found the dolphins for the 5 year old, found the "epic Insta pic" for the teenager, and engaged us older folks with facts, stories, and history about the area. And then we got to see an amazing sunset! The Sunset Dolphin Tour was the highlight of our trip!

I brought 12(boy),10,(girl) and 8(girl) year old kids to the crabbing tour and let me tell you- I'm pretty sure I'm up for mother of year with the way these kids have raved about their good time! Everyone caught crabs and as my 10 year old girl stated," what a thrill!" It was truly exciting for us all and we had an incredible time with our tour guide Ted! He was on it and made our experience perfect! Can't say enough good things about this! We WILL be back!!!!! We may have got lucky, but our entire boat was up in excitement every time a crab was caught and Ted made everyone feel like they were professional for crabbers! Do not miss out on this!

Our family had a BLAST on this tour! Captain Cody was awesome! We all got soaked on our way out to the island due to the choppy water, but that was all part of the fun. We saw lots of dolphins along with starfish, crabs, sand dollars, and more! Highly recommend!
