water island if you are at the crown may dock there is a ferry that leaves right from there and it takes you over to water island super cheap I think it was $10 a person really short ride over there

I could have spent all day there and totally worth the price so if you really want to see sea turtles now it is you know animals they're gonna do what they want to see them that day and it was amazing

we took the next-to-last shuttle back and I think that worked a lot better we avoided the crowd plus we had to get back to the other terminal yeah but it was such a good day again 900% yeah
