Took my 4 year old son to their Bay Babies program this morning and it was fantastic. The kids got to take a water sample and look at plankton under a microscope! We decided to get a membership which has great reciprocals.

Fantastic eco-trip. Dolphins, puffer fish and amazing birds. Visiting bird island was a highlight of our holiday (the list hat not so much, 🤣).
The crew were knowledgable, engaged and was really interesting and informative.
We went on a sunset boat cruise and had such a great time!! Captain Taylor & Dara were amazing & fun & knowledgeable about all the sea life & birds! Definitely recommend!
