I called and called to try to reschedule and no answer. I actually drove to the dock to see where they actually closed but no other people were in line getting ready to board and ready to sail. Not sure if this was a racial discrimination situation or simply they just didn't have room. They could have told me the day I called to let me know the date and time wasn't convenient for them.

We had a wonderful time with Captain Mark and learned a lot. He did an exceptional job of telling us about the space program and the boats and equipment involved. We saw many manatees and dolphins around the locks. Had a little delay getting back thru the lock but he handled it beautifully and continued the tour thru the delay. AND THEN we ran into a huge pod of dolphins. It was so fun to watch them breach and play. I'd recommend this tour to anyone. My friend who went with us is 90 and had no trouble getting in and out of the pontoon boat. Fun time was had by all.

It was kind of tough though as there were issues with the boat that almost canceled the tour and then it ended 45 minutes early due to weather. Regardless we were totally satisfied. CJ COMMUNICATED VERY WELL AND TIMELY ABOUT THE BOAT ISSUES. We hung in and just went along. No biggie. Tour started on time. The experience was awesome as the blue is for real! It was like the movie avatar but we weren't blue - the water was and we got to let it run over our hands. Could have played with that jellyfish longer or gone for another. It was all around fun and interesting. I'd do it again!

They said they loved Mike and Jody so much they wanted to go to the zoo with them one day. Lol. We saw Dolphins, manatees, puffer fish, an alligator, pelicans, and herons. The boat "One Love " was comfortable, very cool and provided great shade. We had great tunes playing too. It was a wonderful experience and we will not only be back but will send others.
