“This is a great excursion. Beautiful and interesting views of the waterways. Well organized. Be sure and come early there are some seats reserved and you want to be able to have a good seat for the trip. Dinner is simple. Bread and butter, lettuce and peel & eat shrimp. It’s certainly all the shrimp you care to eat. Very fresh and sweet. Highly recommended.”
