    Our bachelorette trip with Tideline Tours was the highlight of our weekend! Captain Olivia made the entire experience unforgettable. She took us to a beautiful island that's only accessible by boat, where we hunted for shells and shark teeth and caught plenty of crabs. While we explored, she prepared an incredible beach boil so we could enjoy an amazing family-style meal together. She was so knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the surrounding landscape, which made the trip even more special. If you're looking for a unique, fun, and memorable adventure, we can't recommend Tideline Tours and Captain Olivia enough!
