Book this right NOW - Captain Jamie was the BEST! She found dolphins for us that swam right next to the boat! Storm clouds loomed, but she kept us in front of them so our trip was not canceled! And sooooooo many shells! Captain Jamie even slipped me a few super special shells that I missed….did I mention that Captain Jamie is AMAZING?

Awesome excursion with Captain Paul - Captain Paul at Sand Dollar Shelling was awesome so helpful and fun with the kids, so knowledgeable as well! We learned so much and had a great time! Jocelyn loved looking at all her different shells while sitting in the hot tub since it was kind of chilly once the rain started on the way back! But we got lucky and got to shell for quite a while! Captain Paul rocks! @sanddollarshelling

Naples top shelling and sunset day trip - It was a great experience from start to finish. Everything was ready at our arrival. The captain was informative, stopped to let us enjoy the dolphins that were swimming around us. The beach we went was beautiful and we had it for ourselves. We did some shelling and enjoyed the sunset. What a great way to spend the day in Naples. Thank you! Can’t wait to do it again.

Jewels from the Sea - If you love Schells this is a must do. Our guide Joey was super great. We saw dolphins, stingray, and other wild life. I was able to get 8 different species of Schells. Amazing .

Beautiful and educational ride with lots of shells to take home! - Megan our tour guide was fabulous! She shared all pf her knowledge about the local environment and wildlife on our way to Kewaydin Island. We saw dolphins, osprey, bald eagles, racoons, Anhinga and cormorans. Once we got to Kewaydin, Megan picked a good path for us to head to the beach and pick shells. She found a few for us as well as teaching our group what the different shells were. Would highly recommend and do again!
