We booked a private excursion and had a blast with Chelsea and Jen! They were the best we had a 4 year old with us (Emery) they were the best with her! So thank you from the bottom of my heart! We all learned a lot that we didn’t know about the fish and the ocean it was very interesting! I was very impressed we will definitely go again with them! 👍👍👍
