This tour delivered an hour to walk a remote beach which was more than enough time to find some great shells. The two guides on the trip out were very informative and we were very lucky to be joined by a family of 3 dolphins, on the return trip, who followed in the wake of the boat for a long time so great videos / photo opportunities. Very enjoyable tour :)

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TOUR. If you are going to only hear about marine ecosystem then this is the tour for you and the tour guides area very knowledge about this. If you are lucky you will see some dolphins which are nice to watch. The water in the bay looks nasty!! If you are also looking forward to "looking for a variety of seashells at the beach on the shelling island" then You Will be TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED!! You are taken to a small island and told you have only a limited amount of island space to search for shells due to the rest of the island is privately owned and told to stay off the private property. Due to the tour company taking daily trips to this island there are NO good seashells to search for. The shelling beach consisted of sand and broken seashells. If you area looking for clear beautiful water and a nice variety of seashells you will have much better luck visiting the local public beaches in the area.

The total amount of time was to be 4 hours-it basically consists of boat time-should be renamed to scenic cruise-had ONLY 44 minutes on the beach-I love Florida wildlife but people on the boat acted like they had never seen s dolphin before-most time was spent sitting on the boat trying to listen to biologist over talk children who kept talking-there were people who basically rushed to get on boat-all I wanted was an outside seat-I got stuck being in middle -no air flow-someone had an odor as well-suggestion Take less people-rename it as well as description-maybe offer a family or kid friendly cruise ONLY-this cruise not ideal for relaxation

Great fun particularly the dolphins playing in the boats wake.

Capt Gail n Laura were an absolute delight. It was as educational as it was beautiful I totally recommend the dolphin n shelling cruise great for all ages!!
Thanks again Capt Gail n Laura!! -
Knowledgeable and entertaining crew. Lots of dolphins and wildlife. The three hours fly by.
-
Charter was professionally managed, on time and very informative. Unexpectedly, we had a special guest marine biologist on board to answer all the kids questions. Captain did a great job getting the dolphins to follow our boat. Highly recommended for a short half day sight seeing trip with the kids.

Great trip, excellent staff who really knew the area and the local wildlife.
We will definitely book this trip again next time we are in Fort Myers Beach area. -
Their definitely plenty of dolphins to see. The crew was excellent and very informative of the region. Altogether it was a great experience.

It was so much fun!!! The Host and Hostess knew a tremendous amount of information about the vegetation and wild life!!! they also know exactly where to go to get the dolphins to swim and jump along side of the boat!!!!!! It was so exciting!!!! Aaaaaaa!!!!!! We Have so many shots and videos of the dolphins jumping out of the water!!!!!!
As for the shelling portion, upon arrival there is no docking station but they do provide a short ladder and plenty of there assistance... And this is probably asking a little too much of little me but a beach comber maybe twice a year to clean up some of the old shell shards, that way your customers can enjoy a little more of the beach maybe..... Other than that. The staff was WONDERFUL!!!!!!! We all had a BALL!!!!! I Highly recommended it!!!!!
PS.
You actually come back with decent shells!!!!! very happy!
