The Side Speedboat Tour was an absolute blast! I never thought I'd get to see sea turtles up close, even managed to snap a few pics! 🐢 Such a perfect day on the water with my kids; they couldn't stop talking about it. And the swim where the river meets the sea? Magical! 💦 If you've got a family and you're in the area, seriously, this is a 'must do'! 🌊 Highly recommend.
