Our driver/guide Cam was awesome! Skillfully took us on different water ways. Saw dolphins and otters (chirping at us). Highly recommend this tour.

We had a great experience with this tour. The booking process was easy, and Captain Joe was great with communication via text and phone call. We even were able to book a tour on New Year's Day! Captain Cameron was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area waterways and gave us a very nice history of the area, as well as a good explanation of the current workings of the waterway. We saw dolphins up close and a good variety of birds! I would recommend this tour company for sure.

Cam was an excellent tour guide! He gave us a lot of information about the area and supplied us with extra hats to keep us warm. I would like to take this trip again during warmer weather! The sights were great.
