Great even in less than sunny weather
Lori_F, October 2026
Kayce, Hosanna, and Jason were amazing! The weather wasn’t great, but we made the most of it.! Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and willing to help with anything. My moms favorite part was when Jason jumped out of the boat to grab a balloon that someone let go of!!! Saving wildlife for the win!! Haha

We were stressed when we arrived and everyone was so kind and helpful. It put us at us at ease right away and set the tone for an amazing day. We had a lovely time on the water and would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat. The crew is fantastic and the location is not to be missed. Highly recommend! Mahalo!
