I think the reef walk was very educational. We saw were an eel, several sea cucumbers, a needle fish, a puffer fish, and sea urchins.
-- Jasmin Chase, 9 years old

We learned a lot on the reef walk! It reminded me of the amazing times that can be had through simple exploration.
-- Rachel A. Armstrong

At first it seemed unlikely we'd find anything, the water looked empty, but after just a few minutes we started spotting fish.
(Our guides) were great.
We enjoyed the reef walk tremendously!
-- Lasar McCabe, Our Savior Lutheran School
