We watched dolphins play in our wake. They were able to tailor our trip to be more dolphins/ sightseeing less shelling. Jeff our captain was excellent.

Great experience! We spent the day frolicking with dolphins, hoping that Mr osprey comes home to the nest with Mrs osprey, and collecting THE MOST AMAZING SHELLS we have ever found! I highly recommend this tour! Our captain Jeanne was so nice and knowledgeable and helped find dolphins and identify shells! Thanks so much!

Jayne was so helpful picking shells and explaining them and how they get their features. We were able to see the dolphins and Jayne was able to get them to jump in our boat wake. Fabulous time.

We highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in Florida gulf coast ecology, 10,000 islands, dolphins, and shelling. We arrived at the departure dock and everyone was friendly and professional. We were assigned to Captain Jeff and he was a fantastic navigator and tour guide. All the boat captains are experienced and well trained. Each flat bottom boat accommodates 6 people and our ride was fun and informative. Captain Jeff explained the local ecology, including the mangrove islands, and he knew exactly where to take us to see dolphins and take part in shelling along a gorgeous stretch of white sand coastline. We had almost 2 hours for shelling and we found lots of beautiful shells including sand dollars. We also had time to swim and enjoy the crystal clear water. My husband and I had a wonderful time and the family on-board with us seemed to as well! We look forward to taking the tour with our children and grandchildren. Thanks for a great experience!

Paul S. was a fantastic tour guide! He was an entertaining and informational guide - we had a great time!! I have been on a couple of other tours, and this one was, by far, the absolute best. Tons of shells and dolphins. It was a memorable experience for all! Thanks so much for giving this opportunity to people!!

Captain Paul went out of his way to give us the best views of dolphins and to find amazing shells. We saw close to a dozen dolphins during our voyage and kept our grandchildren enthralled throughout the trip!
