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.

Dolphin joy ride - We had such a great time. Paul S was a fantastic captain. Dolphins were meant to be a bonus - but we had such a good time getting them to play in our boat wakes and Paul was skilled at getting us near them. It was truly the best. He also took us to a few decent (not crowded) beaches to search for shells. He was knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our afternoon.

10/10 day - This was a bucket list day for our group! Captain Jamie went out of her way to take us to the best shelling spots and see all of the marine life. We saw manatees and dolphins, and she even got the dolphins to play in the wake of our boat! We could not have had a better time anywhere!
