Amazing and well worth booking!! Be sure to ask for Paul S. and Veronica 👏 - Feb 2026 • Friends I normally do not do reviews but this excursion was up and beyond the best. We couldn't have been happier with our captain Paul S. and Veronica!! We started out with seeing several dolphins, then on to shell hunting which was amazing!! All of their knowledge lead us to a great spot where we found shells, shells and more shells! Veronica pointed out so many different names of shells, making it such a good learning experience also. On the way back they were able to get 3 dolphins to join us behind the boat...amazing! We have paid for other dolphin tours and have never had an experience like this. Thank you so much, we will definitely book again and will definitely ask for Paul S. and Veronica❤️ +

Shelling at the best spot! - Captain Dave took us to a wonderful spot for shelling. We’ve been a few other shelling tours and this was definitely the best.

This was well worth the $... - This was well worth the $ for the tickets. We had an experienced captain, Lauren and were on a smaller boat. We got to see lots of dolphin and found lots of shells, thanks to Lauren! She brought us to the best part of Keewaydin beach. It wasn’t crowded at all and she helped us find lots of cool shells. She had a lot of knowledge about them, the dolphin, and the wildlife. It was the best day! They provide water but would recommend bringing some layers while on the water. I was glad to have a few.

A must do tour! - Had the best day with captain Lauren! We got to see lots of dolphin and the shelling was amazing experience on beautiful Keewaydin. This small boat tour made it comfortable and welcoming. It is worth the money. Highly recommended!!

We saw Dolphins and found lots of shells. - We had a great trip with our Guide Captain Joey. He was knowledgeable about wildlife we saw, dolphins and shelling. We ended up seeing dolphins jumping behind our boat. When we got to the island to shell. Cpt. Joey showed and described the shells we would find. We then shelled and found a lot of shells.

One of the best tours we’ve ever taken - Captain Paul S was an incredible tour guide! He showed us wild life and explained many things and answered all our questions. The shelling was fantastic! We going do many gems. We started depth am empty bag and left with a full one. Paul knows everything about the shells and has a keen eye and helps you find shells you would have passed up.

Keewaydin Tour - Captain Paul was a great boat host. He told stories of the mansions we went by and gave some background and history about the area. He was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable. He pointed out all the high end boats and told us about the party beach on Keewaydin with the concessions. We found a lot of shells and had a great time!

Not worth it - The boat was nice and Keewaydin Island was pretty although the shelling was good but not great and certainly no big shells like the picture. We did see a few dolphins. Mostly we just rode around in the boat. The captain pointed out one eagle but aside from that there was no narration at all about the area or wildlife. And we got back 20 minutes early. I felt the trip was way overpriced for what we got.
