Great price, great experience! - This was such a fun experience. The boat ride out was great and we saw lots of dolphins. While at Shell Island we had a great time snorkeling, finding shells and sand dollars, and even saw more dolphins. Great price for the experience.

Amazing. A must do - I got the most pictures on this trip! By far my favorite part of our 5 day Florida vacation. John and Tanner were great! We seen 2 different pods of dolphins with babies, manatees, few crabs, sea birds and even a little tiny octopus. We got tons of shells even one or two sand dollars.. I would suggest water shoes there are soo many in the sand its a little rough on the feet but absolutely beautiful island. Had a great time.

Island boat adventure = GREAT VIBESSSS !!!! - This was such a fun experience. Captain John was amazing! It was a fun trip and we had plenty of time to grab as many shells as we wanted as well as swim. On the way back we seen dolphins and that was great as well. Overall I would highly recommend!!

Highlight of our trip - This experience was honestly the highlight of our week! One of my girls was nervous to ride in the boat but that quickly disappeared after our wonderful guide John told us exactly what would be happening. We saw lots of birds and several dolphins. John’s knowledge of the area and marine life made for an fantastic trip. He took us to Shell Island and the abundance of shells was incredible. After that he took us to a sandbar and we snorkeled for sand dollars. It was so fun and we took home lots of shells! I highly recommend booking this trip!!

Amazing - John took us (plus 4 kids) shelling near Shell Key. We had a great time from the moment we got on the boat - dolphin and manatee sightings, cover under a bridge in a rain storm (John made it fun), enjoying a gorgeous sandbar, snorkeling, and beach combing. John helped us swim in the right places to find amazing shells, and he was generally entertaining for all ages aboard. Would definitely book again! The kids have already put in their request to repeat if we come back to the area. Thank you, John!

To another island…. there is a cooler on board where you can bring your own drinks of any kind and keep them in the cooler….
