Well worth the ride!! - We went at 9. The weather was great. Spotted about 8 dolphins which was cool. We just enjoyed the boat ride so much, seeing all the different birds and the scenery was awesome. Captain Mike was our fearless leader. His knowledge of the island and the history was impressive. Our grandson even got to steer the boat which he thought was the bomb!! Well worth the money!!
