Sting ray and dolphins - The captain and his daughter were great. We saw a huge stingray and dolphins. The water was not as clear as usual, but we still got some snorkeling in at shell Island. I would highly recommend!

Great Experience - It was a great time. Got to see alot of dolphins and found a bunch of different shells. And there weren't that many people on the cruise. So the little island was perfect.

Great day for dolphins and shelling! - Amazing trip to Shell Key. Captain Ian was very knowledgeable of the area and very professional. We were able to find some awesome shells and even 2 fully intact sand dollars. Saw dolphins on the way back. Great excursion.

Great communication - I will start this review by saying we did not get a chance to actually go. After booking this for a Thursday afternoon, it got cancelled due to weather. The employee that I spoke too was absolutely wonderful about having to cancel and did the best he absolute could in order to get us on the boat a different day. He also gave us a ton of advice for booking the next time we visit. He suggested not booking this towards the end of your vacation because it is easier to reschedule during the days you are there. This may be “common sense” but it meant a lot to us for the staff to take their time and explain this to us. They were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Next year we will be definitely booking again.

Family fun - We had a great time watching dolphins around the boat, collecting shells on the beach and listening to the interesting information from the staff. Of course the day was beautiful and our memories will be forever.

Awesome trip! - Not only did we have a beautiful day, but we saw so many dolphins! On the way back we saw a pod of 5 dolphins that included a literal days old baby dolphin! We found several cool shells at Shell Ley Preserve, and I had a Manatee swim 5 feet away from me at Shell Key! We have been trying to take this tour for 3 years and always get rained out, but not this time! We had the best time! Thank you Captain Ian and First Mate Claire! You guys are awesome!

A fun family activity - Its was a very relaxing cruise though we weren’t able to see any dolphins we saw a lot beautiful sights. The beach we stopped at for shelling was beautiful and there were plenty of beautiful shells and the water was beautiful. The boat driver and his daughter made a good team together.
