We had a great time on this trip. The crew were fantastic, Captain Nolan, Brynn, Sarah, and Jake all were super friendly. And they made sure we had fun and saw plenty of turtles and kept ourselves and the turtles safe. My only complaint is that it was really crowded but I understand this is where the viewing spot is. Just be prepared to bump into people. But everyone in my party had a great time. Jake takes great pictures so you can add that on at the end if you want.
