Amazing Boat Ride - We had an incredible time on our boat trip! Captain Paul S was so friendly, welcoming, and clearly very knowledgeable about the area. We were lucky enough to see dolphins up close, and Paul knew exactly where to find them — such a magical moment! My children then collected and learned about various sea shells. The evening finished with a stunning sunset over the water. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing time!

10/10 - This was such a wonderful experience. Paul S made everything exciting and fun! He was phenomenal with my children and made them feel so special. He even got dolphins to swim behind us. Veronica was brilliant and answered every question my daughter could throw at her

Sunset Tour Wedding - We were engaged in Marco Island last February on a shelling/sunset tour and returned to get married on the same tour. Captain Paul and First Mate Veronica could not have made our experience any better! They took us to our exact location of the proposal and saw to our every need! It was simply beautiful. The perfect way to get married at sunset

Incredible guides giving top notch tour of shelling and dolphin watching. - We had a beautiful day on the water with Captain Jayme and First Mate Veronica. We got to see lots of dolphins and watch them play in the wake of our boat. We also spent a couple of hours shelling at low tide and had amazing success finding Lighting Welch’s, Banded Tulips, lots of Fl Fighting Conchs and many many small varieties. They shared lots of knowledge with us and made the whole day one to remember.

Amazing Shells and Dolphins - We had such a great time on our private shelling and dolphin tour! Paul S. was a great captain and shared so much information about the shells and the wildlife in the area. I highly recommend booking a trip with Paul S. We found so many amazing shells and even got to see a momma dolphin and her baby. It was so cute!

Dolphins, shells and a wonderful day with the family. - What a glorious day out on the water! The hosts were absolutely fantastic and we really enjoyed our tour, seeing many dolphins right up close and finding SO many lovely shells! The company were so friendly and accommodating and despite our scheduled captain being unwell they went above and beyond to find a replacement and make sure we got our full experience which we were so appreciative of. We would highly recommend this tour company and will definitely be returning ourselves.

Best shelling/dolphin experience ever! - We had the best shelling experience. We found so many good shells and we saw more than 10 dolphins. We had some follow the boat and jump up multiple times. Our guide Paul S. knew so much about the shells and birds and dolphins. He also went out of his way to bring an item we left on the boat back to our hotel. He was so thoughtful and nice. I would recommend this shelling experience to anyone. It is worth every penny.

Shell Island Opening Day - Captain Paul S. was fantastic. We liked the morning private tour to Shell Island and Kice Island so much we returned for another trip in the afternoon.

Go elsewhere! - Did not enjoy at all. I have been on other tours and this is the bottom of the barrel. Had to sit on coolers the entire ride. Captain headed straight to shell on the island. Would not have even seen the dolphins if someone did not point it out. Seriuosly way better tours out there.
