Great way to spend the morning! Quick swim breaks were perfect to break up the speed and sightsee part of the tour. My little ones were thrilled by the idea of seeing sea turtles. Definitely doing this again next summer!

The speedboat ride was super fun and the kids loved it! We saw turtles and even got to swim where the river meets the sea. Bring a snorkel if you can!
