The waters are generally calm, but we recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are sensitive to boat movement.

Q: Do I need to book my wildlife tour in advance?

Yes, booking online in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak summer weekends and holidays.

Q: What kind of wildlife can I expect to see besides ponies?

You will likely see various bird species, ospreys, eagles, crabs, and occasionally dolphins or manatees.

Q: Are there any restrictions on photography or equipment during the tour?

Personal cameras and binoculars are encouraged, but please keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing the wildlife.
