On the isle we saw countless starfish, a horseshoe crab shell, and even a whole sand dollar. Our kids had the best time. Captain Mark was great.

Even though the day was a little cooler weather-wise, we still had an amazing time and it was one of the highlights of our trip.Captain Mark was a great Captain!

Captain Mark was a great Captain! The trip was fun, engaging, at our tempo. Vanishing Island is like no place you’ve ever been (unless you are a pelican). Little and big kids really got into it. Captain Mark was great at communicating with us. Our initial appointed time was really rainy, so we rescheduled. It was easy. Then - at our second time - it was also rainy, but we together decided to go anyway. The rain cleared and it was remarkable. He has all the navigation equipment to make a safe trip. We saw lots of dolphins, a turtle!, starfish, an osprey- highly recommended and we will do it again when next in HHI!I was lucky enough to find Captain Mark via a recommendation, and the trip totally exceeded our expectations. Our party (2 adults, 2 children) took the private tour to the Vanishing Mile Island. We saw sand dollars, sea stars, crabs, shells, and lots of Dolphins accompanying us to the island! Ca...
I was lucky enough to find Captain Mark via a recommendation, and the trip totally exceeded our expectations. Our party (2 adults, 2 children) took the private tour to the Vanishing Mile Island. We saw sand dollars, sea stars, crabs, shells, and lots of Dolphins accompanying us to the island! Captain Mark was very knowledgeable and taught us about the eco system around HHI. Returning to the dock, Captain Mark took us to some tidal mud flats first, where we saw dolphins strand feeding, amazing experience. We highly recommend Capt. Mark.
