Captain John was a wonderful guide to the area on our pontoon boat cruise! He was very knowledgeable about the area and answered all our questions. We saw a bunch of wildlife, including the ponies, dolphins, pelicans, egrets, and other birds. Highly recommend! Just remember to bring a hat and some sunscreen since the boat isn’t completely covered.
