4 Hour – Stump Island Tour - 1:30 PM on September 4, 20262 adults

Sonny was communicative about any weather concerns prior to making sure the trip went smoothly. Saw all sorts of wildlife on our trip and got a nice swim in! Sonny had snorkel gear and a float pad available. Very knowledgeable and professional yet fun!
