Went on the bioluminescent tour and loved seeing the fish glow through the water. It was exhilarating catching glowing jellys (that didn't sting!) and learning about the estuary. Our group was able to see a few dolphins rolling in the sunset at takeoff and then another came beside us. We heard Great Blue Herons call from above and enjoyed the nice gear. I took a kayak but want to do the paddle board next time because they have backrests if you get tired. I highly recommend bug spray and wearing a pair of joggers, maybe a fishing shirt to keep the land bugs away. As a local, I really enjoyed the up close dragging my glowing feet through the water experience. My phone didn't capture it's true brightness. Super recommend this tour!
