A fun excursion with a great guide and tons of treasure! - Taylor was amazing! She helped us navigate the tides to Shell Key and was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved spending time with her! She was great with my daughter and even helped her find some special new treasures. It was a fabulous excursion!

Amazing day!!!! - We had no idea what to expect, but wow! Our guide (Taylor) was super accommodating and knowledgeable. She was quick to point out marine life, and we were lucky enough to have a few dolphins put on quite the show for us. Shell key was BEAUTIFUL, and covered with all kinds of beautiful shells. We even passed through a mangrove during our return. Highly recommend! Thank -you!!!!
