Not to be missed - We had a fabulous morning trip with Captain Colleen and another family of four around the 10,000 islands. Colleen was very knowledgeable about the habitat and wildlife, and we had an amazing, up close experience with so many of dolphins. She answered all our questions and took us shelling on a remote island where we got to collect a bag of shells/sand dollars. Well worth while, we would thoroughly recommend this trip.
