We went out a bit late but the guides (Andrew, aka Big Mamma) and Devon were amazing. So experienced and kind and fun and helpful.

It was still a total blast and we were stunned when we learned they were offered a refund. Seriously, they have no control of the weather. So I didn't expect it. But their priority was 1) our safety, and 2) our fun. We will DEFINITELY come back. This was worth it. Thanks guys!

The boat was comfortable, and the ride was smooth. We were at low tide, so our captain had to be very cautious where he went. The mangroves are pretty, but once you saw 10 islands, it was probably enough. We got to see a few dolphins, and he got two of them to surf the boat waves which was fun. Our little stroll on the one island turned up a few interesting shells. Overall, I think the trip is too long as you just keep seeing the same things, island after island. There weren't really as many birds as I anticipated.
