What the day feels like
What the cruise feels like
The outing is deliberately compact: a relaxed, two-hour loop in a small boat where conversation with the guide competes with the shifting light and the hush of water. You sip your own drinks from the provided cooler, ride close to shoreline plants and birdlife, and circle Peanut Island before tracing the Intracoastal back toward the launch point.
