We had a great time. Kyle and awesome were great and made sure we got to see things not even planned on the trip. Very relaxing. Snorkeling we could have used less jellyfish, but hey, it’s the ocean!!! Well down by both of you.

What a wonderful time we had. So many dolphins and sharks! The snorkeling was shallow water and great for beginners. Boat was clean and Kyle and Westley were knowledgeable and awesome hosts.

Went to two spots snorkeling, the jetty and the seagrass beds. We went to the gulf and the bay looking for dolphins. We saw several pods. A group swam directly under the boat. Some in our group saw a huge sea turtle. We had a hermit crab race from ones we got from the grass beds before releasing them. A person in our group got the coveted crab racing champion belt. The crew was very knowledgeable and helpful. A very good experience.
