Had a great time! We went Aug 27. Perfect weather. We saw so many sea turtles. Shout out to Avery for going deep down to get good videos of the turtles on our GoPro! ❤️ Shout out to Kalani he was a great host and super funny and chill! And shout out to co-captains Jeff & Korra for smooth sailing! No sea-sickness!!!. They all definitely deserve a huge RAISE $$$.
