Great for groups, families and kids of all ages - Come prepared to walk the beach with water shoes- the shells are sharp on tender feet. Bring a shell bag.

Well worth the money for your family! - This was an amazing experience! We saw many dolphins up close and ended up on a great private beach with a LOT of amazing shells, crabs and wildlife! The captain and crew were amazing hosts and knew a ton about the local scenery and creatures we discovered.

Dolphins and shells - We enjoyed our trip to shell island. Spotted a pod of about 10 dolphins playing both on the way to and from the island . Had plenty of time on island shelling and found some really beautiful shells. Enjoyable trip!

Unexpected travel delight. - We actually transferred to the Dolphin chase , snorkeling & island adventure. The operating family; Betty, Mike and captain John welcomed us aboard like we were visiting their home for dinner. We were made to feel comfortable and safe. Catered to all twelve passengers individual requests. If you go please ask Captain John to do his best to introduce you to "Steven" the cheeto stealing bird.

Great time - Excellent day. Found great shells and saw several dolphins. Even had a manatee pop its nose up for air. One of the group even found a huge horse conch in knee deep water. Highly recommend
