Incredible shelling and dolphin adventure. - We have tried a few places for shell collecting including Sanibel Island and its famous Bowman’s beach, but we always left a little disappointed. We saw pictures of beaches with nothing but shells but the reality did not match up. So my wife was a little skeptical when i booked the Kice Island 4 hour tour. It far exceeded even my expectations. The boat felt safe and comfortable. the Captain, Colleen was incredibly knowledgeable and the shell collecting was the best we have ever experienced. Colleen knew exactly where we should look. We visited three islands which each had different shells and we saw a lot of dolphins and birds. It was really great. Strongly recommended.

The Time of My Life!!! - Don’t overload your shell bag because they get very heavy!!! Fill half full and get a second bag. Wear sunscreen!

Added value, and shells - We chose Florida Adventures based on past reviews and their shelling destination. The trip did not disappoint! Marco was our guide/captain and he created enormous added value to the experience. From shell development, to the future of the fishing industry we remained captivated. In addition we found some amazing sea shells. We saw no dolphins until we were about 50 yards from the dock on our return. Marco made a special effort to insure we had an opportunity to view these beautiful inhabitants. I would recommend this excursion for others. We will schedule again when we return in the future.

Thank you Captain Marco - A long awaited dream come true. Everything more than I ever expected. Captain Marco is so knowledgeable about the area, history, wildlife and best shelling beaches, even where the most delightful dolphins play! Couldn’t have been more delightful!

Extraordinary Shelling Morning On Kice Island. - My wife and I had a wonderful experience shelling the Kice Island area with Captain Marco on October 3rd. It just so happened we were the only two people on this trip which made it extra special for my wife's birthday. Captain Marco was an expert on all the shells we found, helping us identify even the tiniest ones we didn't recognize. He is also very friendly and outgoing which made for a very comfortable morning. We have never had a better shelling experience. The boat we sailed on is very modern, smooth, and had all the appurtenances one could want. We were lucky to be able to visit 6 different beaches because it was only my wife and me. Capt. Marco was also very helpful aiding my wife in getting in and out of the boat. She has some difficulty walking but managed just fine on this trip. My wife and I highly recommend Florida Adventures and Rentals if you are looking for an extraordinary, outstanding morning or afternoon around Kice Island! Thank you, Captain Marco!

A great experience - Marco, our guide, could not have been more accommodating. His passion for the 10,000 Lakes was evident. His knowledge base of shells and wildlife was broad. We saw many dolphins, including 4 or more, that played in the wake between two boats. It was the closest we have been to dolphins. The shelling was top-notch also. Truly, if you get the opportunity, don't pass it up
