“We drove 3 hours round trip and they told us that we were on a weather delay and waited for an hour and could be waiting all night and our guide said that the likelihood is that we would not be going out. Mind you we already drove close to 2 hours and this company refuses to give any money back, only rain checks which is very frustrating because we were from out of town and left the next day so we got shafted $350 for 5 of us. Very unfortunate that the company wouldn’t work with us or budge”

Took us away to a quiet area away from the larger tour groups. Bioluminescence was amazing. Lots of fish, stars, and birds (a few landed on some kayaks!!). Good attention to safety as there was a large wind storm when we gathered They were clear in communicating and mingling safety.
