Best private shelling and boat tour ever!! - I have been on many boat excursions and this by far has been our favorite. Nick was an excellent guide and found manatees, birds and dolphins and was also very informative and gave us some of the history of the 10,000 islands!! The shelling was great and we found a bunch of great shells and Nick found some awesome shells for me!! We all had a great time and ended the trip with Nick having a dolphin jumping in the wake!! Do not hesitate to book!!

Marco - We had Tyler as a guide, and he was fantastic. Very kind and accommodating. He has a very nice boat as well. We found some great shells and took in the beautiful beaches that Marco has to offer. Also a beautiful sunset! Thank you, Tyler!

Best Dolphin and Shelling tour - Captain Nick was amazing. We had such a great time with the Dolphin and Shelling tour. He had the dolphins following along our boat doing belly flops. He took us to a great spot to find the coolest shells. We even got to see some manatees! It was great we highly recommend.

10/10 recommend - Such a fun experience. I booked this because I wanted something private to do with my family. We had a blast. Nick was very informative & made everyone feel comfortable. We got to see dolphins jumping out of the water & he found my son some really cool sea shells. I would do this again!
