Relaxing and beautiful ride to Shell Key! - Super friendly dad and daughter hosts. Great location to board the vessel. We ate appetizers at Sea Dogs before the cruise. It was nice to book a small excursion that didn’t take 8-10 hours. We still had to time explore the area. The Island was beautiful and the water was warm. Lots of shells!
Thank you.

Must do - Our family has a wonderful time on the dolphin/shell tour. This is a must do if you are in the area. We were able to see dolphins close up!

Great trip add on for ANY age! - We cannot express enough how truly exceptional our experience was with this company! Despite planning last minute with three adults and four young children, the father-daughter duo provided us with unparalleled respect and fun throughout our voyage. Witnessing dolphins for the first time and collecting an abundance of shells created memories we'll cherish forever. We wholeheartedly endorse this adventure—prepare to be amazed!

Boat tour - Got to see a few dolphins! Was a nice experience. Just be aware that the seats are hard for those without much natural cushioning!

Nice trip but didn’t include snorkeling as stated. - Operators very nice and boat clean. We paid for a trip to include snorkeling as what’s stated on our confirmation with you but there was no snorkeling. You should not misrepresent.

It was just "ok". - It was a nice boat ride. Didn't see much dolphine activity though, and didn't spend a lot of time looking, I guess you only get so much time, and they can't control the dolphins.. so it was just "ok". Snorkeling is not actual Snorkeling, it's just a pair of goggles and a snorkel. Could have just bought a pair of goggles and snorkel and done the same thing from our beach front hotel. There's more shells at our beach in St.Pete than we seen at shell island. Overall, it was just ok. Basically we paid $55 for a boat ride.
