Capers Island Wildlife Exploration

Summary: Did this tour on a Saturday morning in May, with a group of friends from college, we are all in our 60s now. This was a great "all ages" experience, fun and educational for everyone from age 6 to age 60! We all learned something new from Captain Robert, and we loved having the opportunity to just wander along the "boneyard" at Capers Island for an hour. A unique and unforgettable experience!

Summary: This was our second time to go. It was great! Robert makes it fun for everyone. He is constantly telling us and showing us things along the way. We had a group of dolphins swimming right next to the boat. The kids loved playing in the tidepools on Capers Island. We got to see crabs and other critters close up. We learned lots of interesting facts, and had lots of fun.
