Awesome Kice Island Trip - The four hour shelling trip with captain Colleen yesterday was wonderful. Great shelling on Dickson/Little Dickson and Kice Islands. Leaving at 7 a.m. we saw a gorgeous sunrise.

Awesome Birthday - Made a very memorable moment for my wife on her birthday. Captain Marco was knowledgeable and made the trip awesome. It’s amazing how there’s so many beautiful shells that you have to be picky and not like being on a public beach where you’re picking up every nice shell. We also found some rare shells. Highly recommend!

Best Shell Excursion - This trip was beyond amazing. I told our captain exactly what I was looking for and he took his out to the island where I could find the shell. We even squeezed in a little extra stop where we found some nice treasures.

Fantastic day of shelling with Captain Colleen - Spent hours at two islands where we found a large number of sand dollars, as well as Florida cones, alphabet cones, shark eyes, starfish, brittle stars and a variety of other shells. Captain Colleen is truly the best and highly knowledgeable and this is our 2nd trip with her.

Perfect shelling with Marco. - A must do activity while in the area. We took a morning shelling trip with Captain Marco, he is the real deal… very knowledgeable, helpful and a knows the right places for whatever you want to find or see. Tons of shells, and I mean tons, sand dollars, dolphins, just an amazing trip. Will be back for more.

Kice Island shelling (and more)... - We did a 4 hour shelling trip to Kice Island with Captain Colleen. Even though the trip had a maximum of 14 people, there were only two of us that day, my sister and myself. My sister and I had an absolutely wonderful time. Colleen was extremely knowledgeable about shells, catered to our requests (a sand bar and going by the dome houses) after Kice AND she found an incredible amount of shells for us! We cannot recommend this tour/trip and Captain Colleen enough. We would give more than 5 stars if we could.

Incredible shelling and dolphin adventure. - We have tried a few places for shell collecting including Sanibel Island and its famous Bowman’s beach, but we always left a little disappointed. We saw pictures of beaches with nothing but shells but the reality did not match up. So my wife was a little skeptical when i booked the Kice Island 4 hour tour. It far exceeded even my expectations. The boat felt safe and comfortable. the Captain, Colleen was incredibly knowledgeable and the shell collecting was the best we have ever experienced. Colleen knew exactly where we should look. We visited three islands which each had different shells and we saw a lot of dolphins and birds. It was really great. Strongly recommended.
