Fun in the sun - Captain Joey was great. Shelling was so-so the day we went (no fault of the tour…the ocean provides what the ocean provides). However, we saw sting rays, dolphins and manatees. Not to mention “Bill” the giant leaf bug. So cool!

Shells, shells, shells!! - We had so much fun with Captain Paul S.! We happen to be the only 2 on this trip and Paul was amazing and full of knowledge about the area. He was able to get several dolphins to “play” with us behind the boat and he helped us look for our coveted shells. Highly recommend!

Unbelievably great tour! - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on many!! We were able to collect over 200 beautiful shells AND we were able to see a wonderful pod of dolphins!! Captain Jamie was fantastic and was able to guide us to the best shells and where the dolphins were! My daughter wants to go back before we leave Florida! Very, very highly recommended!!

Nice family friendly outing - We had a great trip with Captain Paul S. He shared interesting information about the various birds/wildlife and teed up multiple opportunities for our kids to see the dolphins. The shelling was very nice. It was just the right combination of relaxation and activity. We left with some nice family memories.

Wonderful experience! - We had a wonderful time on our 3 hour shelling, dolphin and island tour. Captains Julie and Paul S were great guides. We got backstory on the dolphins in the area and Paul S was great with the kids helping to identify shells and share a few of his finds. Fun and relaxing morning. Would definitely recommend and would go again!
