    Tom was an excellent tour guide! He was solo when we got to the beach and kayaks and it would have been nice for him to have someone else to help get everything set up and get us in the water a little faster-but he did a great job and worked fast. He had a good personality and was very knowledgeable and informative. He answered all of our questions and was great with the two young boys on our trip. He knew the areas that would allow us to see tons of wildlife/sea life. The four hours were perfect for the shuttle over and back (which was great), a quick stop at Gull Island to see the birds and the kayaking. The area was beautiful and I felt very safe. The small group was nice (8 people) too. I highly recommend!
