Your captain will guide you through the area’s stunning waterways, pointing out local wildlife and sharing a few stories along the way. Dolphins are frequent visitors, often surfacing right beside the boat, and the ever-changing colors of the sunset make every evening feel unique. With plenty of space to relax, complimentary bottled water, and an onboard restroom, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
If you’re looking for a moment of magic—the kind that turns into a lifelong memory—this is it. You may even spot dolphins as they play in the warm glow of sunset while you explore the beautiful island!
Each private tour is designed for up to 6 passengers maximum, giving your group an exclusive and personalized experience on the water. This ensures plenty of space to relax, explore, and enjoy the adventure at your own pace!
