Mike was very prompt and... - Mike was very prompt and communicative. Highly recommended booking the private shelling tour. Very relaxing afternoon being shuttled around to a more private part of the beach.

Great Experience - Was a fun and unique Florida experience for our Pennsylvania guests. Were able to see many dolphins up close and personal and did some hunt for shell as well. And there were plenty to pick from. Not the huge conchs we anticipated but Mike our guide called them mini conchs. He was a wonderful guide and even kinder person!
