Keewaydin did not disappoint

Captain Chris was awesome. It was a beautiful day for a ride and Keewaydin did not disappoint. We only saw a variety of wildlife, including a dolphin. Learned a lot about the area. Will definitely do this to again!

Excursion to Keewaydin Island.

It was very beautiful; the island is a dream and the people were very nice. I saw dolphins and eagles. Highly recommended!

Perfect little trip

We saw many dolphins and birds and the private beach was wonderful for collecting shells. The perfect amount of time for little ones and those with fair complexion.

Would not do again

Not enough shelling time. Shells scarce anyway. Too much time circling to find dolphins. Did not live up to expectations. Horrible directions for finding the place! Had to call to navigate around all the 6th Ave S signs
