Captain John, as well as Layla, was a great sidekick. We saw dolphins, got in the water with them, and saw turtles as well as rays and crabs. He also took us on a private trip to find shells, and returned with our full bucket. We were able to personalize it to what we wanted, as we had a 13-year-old and a 10 year-old. Everyone !!!" had an amazing time.
