Amazing trip from start to finish!!! To begin with , the directions and meet up location were easy to follow and find. On arrival departure was smooth and easy; and the trip itself AMAZING. Captain Loraine then took us on a scenic boat ride through the bay while giving us a history on the town and local area !! We then made our first stop where we were able to swim and view wildlife. Anything we caught with nets provided we were able to get a closer look at and got a little education on all the wildlife. Captain Loraine’s expertise took us to areas with great wildlife and to top it all off; the end of the trip was spent watching Manta Rays swim around the boat!!! Absolutely would recommend this trip if you are ever in the area. 10/10!!
