Not really any-left 15 minutes late bc captain was on the phone. Saw a few dolphins and no ponies! So disappointed-it was my birthday and I was so excited. Capt wasn’t very knowledgeable or at least didn’t seem so. Other boat tours we have taken the capt chatted pretty much nonstop. The day was gorgeous which was the saving Grace. I am sure there is no control over seeing the ponies so I can’t and don’t hold this against the tour at all.

They should add more information for booking. 1) they didn't put the dock location, and we had an older adult who can’t walk far. 2) the style of boat has shorter sides than other boats, so you're likely to get splashed. You should wear waterproof clothing and bring blankets if it's cool. We got soaked. 3) The narration consisted of telling us the names of land masses. To get any more information, we had to ask.

Could not see the ponies. I wish we'd brought our binoculars. Ride was somewhat uncomfortable. Guide and Captain were fantastic. Very informative.

Horrible!! Departure was delayed waiting for eventual no shows. Staff tried unsuccessfully many times to reach the "office" for instructions. Eventually, a very small boat was substituted due to fewer travelers than expected. Captain had readied larger vessel but was advised he had to use this vessel and was obviously very unhappy, mentioning this several times. Advertised as wheelchair accessible, however, not easily accessible for me with limited mobility. Some kind of an uneven rubber mat was placed in the boat for entry/exit footing that was outright dangerous. PFDs were available but not readily accessible. Flotation cushions were provided as sit-upons but not identified for emergency use. No chairs just sitting on a "box" without back support. No guide with wildlife knowledge only the captain. Advertised with two 45-minute stops which did not occur. Captain's few comments could not be heard by most passengers over the noise of the engine. Would definitely not recommend this company.

We went on an unusually windy day making for a cold experience and we didn't see any horses. That said, the captain was nice and the tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. Sitting shoulder to shoulder on a hard bench-like seat for two hours wasn't awesome, but at least we saw dolphins and it was interesting to see the island from the water. If you enjoy boat rides and learning some history, and you don't mind not seeing much wildlife, you'll enjoy this.
