- 5.0 Captain Cathy Eagle Boat Tours (64 reviews)
-The best dolphin tour I've ever had!
Monday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Boat Tours • Dolphin & Whale Watching
Captain Cathy gave us the perfect experience! She was very knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife! The boat was perfect and smooth. She was able to call in many dolphins, they enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed seeing them! We did encounter a mom and her baby, Cathy was very respectful of their area and did not disturb them. We had a party of 5 yesterday and there was plenty of room. This was the best dolphin tour we've ever had! Don't pass up the chance to book with Captain Cathy! See more..

- 5.0 Archer Airboat Tours (32 reviews)
-Captain Bob - so much fun!
Boat Tours
Three of us were first time airboaters. We went out on a cloudy, cold, low tide day and had a blast. Bob is an excellent captain and we went in areas where we thought for sure a boat could not float, let alone whip around. We were always in excellent hands with Bob in charge. Super fun. It is clear Bob loves his job - and now we know why. We are all hooked on Bob’s airboat and will do it again. Next time in the sun! See more..
- 4.5 Wild Child Gallery (48 reviews)
-Funky Little Gallery
Monday: Speciality & Gift Shops
Nice little art gallery with a lot of local type stuff. Also has an outdoor area with metal art. They even have art classes. We found some metal art we liked, but thought it was a bit expensive. Owner was a bit bossy. Face masks were required. Many items were not priced so you had to ask. See more..
