We would do those every day if we could! - Captain Travis and First Mate Sam where the absolute BEST tour guides. I have lived in this area for almost 10 years; my husband his entire life - and we BOTH learned so many things we'd never known before. Our kids loved the ability to touch and interact with the sea creatures that Sam brought on deck for them and every single one of their gazillion questions was answered. 10/10 best experience for a Momma: EVERYONE WAS HAPPY!

A unique and wonderful trip. - The staff and other participants were so knowledgeable and nice. The trip was packed full of great birds and Captain Bob knew exactly where to find them. He often used a bright green laser pointer to help us locate the birds. They also gave you very high quality binoculars that made it easy to spot . Patty, the naturalist, was full of information that you would probably never outside know. It was a great trip. We will definitely do it again.

Great tour for bird lovers - Make sure you’re clear on parking. It’s not just “the purple.” They provide binoculars and they are very good ones.

Great for bird-lovers, but not for children - Bird-lovers loved it, but I don’t think this trip is appropriate for kids under 8. We had toddlers with us who were totally bored. Our 9-year-old loved it. Younger children should be steered to the Skimmer, which is more age-appropriate.
