It was a great time and our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable, we asked a LOT of questions and it didn’t phase him.

Awesome experience with a guide who was not only knowledgeable in all things science and Florida related! We had a decent group of 7 people and everyone had a blast! We truly did not even have to try to find the Comb Jellies, they were everywhere! It was even better doing this on New Years Eve and seeing all the surrounding fireworks!
