My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this trip. We didn't know what to expect but we were really surprised by how much fun it was. You go out on a large pontoon boat which is enclosed in plexiglass but the glass is open. Ed and his wife run the excursion which lasts a solid 2 hours. You explore the salt... More

We took this tour with my brother and sister in law. It was great. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. It was informative and fun! More
