Great views of the ponies and fun crew! And Dolphins! - Our crew were masters at navigating the narrow, shallow channels so that we could get up close views of the ponies. We also were lucky to see several dolphins! It was a great morning excursion!

Come out come out wherever you are! - Ponies were hiding , but the captain took us almost to Maryland to find them! Made for a fantastic boat trip, which was what I wanted even if the ponies were a bit disappointing. I’d have given this a five even if there were no horse siting.
