No Show Captain - Refund Requested

The captain canceled my 9:45 tour due to fog. I was already at the beach waiting with my family. After I rescheduled my tour to 12 pm. I arrived at 11:30, the host called me at 12 pm stating the boat had mechanical problems. After spending a total of 1 hour & 30 minutes of my time on a beach waiting(between morning & afternoon). I had to move on to other activities I had planned with my family. I have requested a refund.

Best Private Tour

It was the best part of our trip, we saw a few horses on the island and it was amazing. The views were spectacular and we even saw a plane land… I can go on and on and on…

Great captain and fun...

Really great captain and fun boat ride. Way harder to see or even find horses than expected. The ads make it seem like there are lots of horses everywhere and that is not true. We would still fully recommend it, just lower your expectations about seeing lots of horses.

Book this one!

Trip was so fun and personalized!! Would go again next time we are in the area. The kids (4 and 7) loved that they got picked up by a boat at a little beach and went to see ponies!

Great experience

The boat ride to the island had some amazing views. We saw a group of horses on the island and two dolphins on the way back.
