"[The Sunset Cruise] was probably the best part of our trip. An easy ride on the creek and in the sound, watching the dolphins during the sunset, neither of us had seen as beautiful pastel colors as the sunset on the water that evening.."

"We took the 2 hour nature and dolphin tour. Saw plenty of dolphins but more importantly our Captain was extremely knowledgeable about the environment and animals in the area!"
