Summary: Barrier Island Eco Tours took our school group of 5th graders on a fantastic tour. The students loved learning about the crabs, dolphins, turtles, and clams. Our guide and boat driver were wonderful. They even grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch on Capers Island. It was a delightful experience! I highly recommend this journey to anyone and everyone!
