It was just me and my husband on our last excursion of our honeymoon. Couldn’t have ended on a sweeter note. Captain Kate was awesome, tailored our outing to what we wanted to do and see. We saw playing dolphins, mama Osprey, jumping sting rays, and found awesome shells. And we learned a lot from Captain Kate. It was a fabulous afternoon on the water. Highly recommend.
