Super fun bucket list - Sea glass literally all over!!!! Mostly green and brown. Tiny blue pieces. Did find pottery pieces. The tour guide found some teal and purple and gave us each two small pieces. The van to get there is older minivan, boat is inflatable with motor, could be upgraded but the guys couldn’t be nicer or more informative and super funny. We actually missed our time bc of time difference and we didn’t have clearance to get off ship yet and they called and texted and easily moved us to the next slot. Loved the experience! They had little shovels to help dig baggies and bottled water.

Wonderful - Very friendly service! Tons of sea glass, so much so I don’t see it ever running out. Lots of green, you have to dig for the blue, which is very tiny. Overall happy we went

Very enjoyable experience - Really enjoyed ourselves. Alex and Richie were our guides. Both were very helpful and explained everything. They were great. Even though we did not find anything rare or unusual, we still came home with a lot of sea glass. Just FYI, it is about a 25-30 drive south to that location. Overall, we did have a great time.

Loved this trip! - If collecting sea glass is your thing, then this is a great trip! We had a great time. Alex was fun and personable. It was amazing to see all of the sea glass in one place, and we had a great time looking for interesting pieces.

Great Sea Glass Tour - We were picked up for the tour on time at our hotel. After picking up one other couple we travelled to the boat launch. We were amazed at how much sea glass there is! Our driver and guide Alex was excellent. This is a locally owned and operated business. If you want a bigger corporate type tour with a fancy boat and transportation this tour is not for you. If you are anxious about boating and water travel then this tour may not be for you as the boat used for the short trip to the island is a small inflatable craft with a 20 horsepower outboard motor. BUT if you want an authentic island experience and want to meet and visit with some friendly, informative and likeable local guides then this is the tour for you. We had a great time!

Seaglass Treasure Hunt - This is a must do for anyone looking for a unique experience. If you have no idea what sea glass is or how it became, then it will probably not interest you. We seek out sea glass wherever we visit, so it's always fun for us. It would've been a 5 star if the transport boat/raft was a little better equipped with handles to hang onto. Thanks for an enjoyable trip!!

Uneasy rubber boat ride to Sea glass island - This company seemed to be not very organized. The boat used for transportation to the sea glass island was not very safe, the waters were rough and we got soaked ! We had nothing to hang on to ( felt unsafe) . The island was cool looking for the sea glass but we were pretty much on our own. Two of their workers did give our family a ride back towards town and dropped us off at Eagle beach to explore , instead of us trying to get a taxi to pick us up at the boat/ kayak ramp. We were thankful for that, but it did cost us for the ride.

Sea glass island-what a JOKE!!! - First of all, we were picked up in a dirty, beat up mini van with busted taillights & no AC, which was the 1st red flag. Then we get to the “boat landing”, & they realized they had forgotten the pump to blow up the RAFT, not boat!!! So they tried to get us to kayak but we paid for boat & the current was way too strong to kayak. Had to wait 1/2 hr so he cud go get pump. Once blown up, had to carry pump with us, so we cud re inflate for trip back. Raft had seen better days. No life jackets. Had to take battery from mini van to put in boat motor & it still kept stalling out on way to island. Luckily we did make it to island & back safely. I will say though that the island was a HUGE disappointment. Nothing like the pics you see online. Wud not recommend island period. *ON A GOOD NOTE, THE GUIDES WERE VERY NICE& EASY GOING* ONLY GOOD PART OF THE TRIP!!! Will NOT book thru TripAdvisor again! EVER!

No Show - Very disappointing. Was supposed to be picked up at 8am, tour was a "no show" after waiting for an hour. We did call tour operator and was told the driver showed us as picked up. Viator was so helpful in getting us a refund.
