We did the sunset tour in late March and the experience was absolutely beautiful. Captain Kevin was our guide and he was extremely kind and knowledgeable and provided enough guidance and independent exploring time on the island that felt really comfortable. I recommend this to anyone who wants to escape that big city feel and feel some real sand under your feet. And the sunset was remarkable!
