We learned so much and Carlos was a great tour guide! It’s so interesting and informative! I highly recommend this tour. Everyone was friendly and answered all of our questions!
Tours are fabulous way to learn about sustainable raising of abalone. Our tour guide Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and informative throughout our tour of the farm. So glad it had reopened!
