    They cancelled the afternoon tour because they said of afternoon storms. But there were many couples we met that went on afternoon tours with different companies and had a blast. They were not at all timely with their communication when I tried to reschedule. I strongly advise anyone to choose a different tour. There are many to choose from.

    Captain Joe and Kim were excellent navigators and story tellers! They explained the ecosystem and its history. We found plenty of cool shells to add to our collection. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a neat family friendly adventure! Thanks Chief

    Kate was a terrific guide -- we enjoyed the boatride, the shelling and frolicking with the dolphins! We even saw a shy Manatee!

    Captain Kevin was outstanding! We were just two couples on our shelling tour. First we observed dolphins feeding near shore, and then we moved on to a small, shell filled island all to ourselves. There was an abundance of fighting conch, live horse conch, tulips, figs, snails, whelk, scallop, pen shells, horseshoe crab, and alphabet cones. The other couple on this tour found a junonia in the water. I can't wait to come back next year and look for more shell treasures.

    Captain Kevin was great! My children & I enjoyed seeing the birds, dolphins, & the wonderful shelling. 3.5 hrs flew by so definitely go out for at least that long.

    Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge

    The 10,000 Islands Excursion is the best way to experience the natural world around Marco Island. Conducted within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, you will experience what many describe as, "The Best of Florida". The tour is a two-part experience. The first part is a slow, intimate boating tour amongst the remote islands of the Ten Thousand Islands. While you search for dolphins, manatees and sea turtles, you may encounter ospreys, bald eagles, ibis, roseate spoonbill, egrets, herons and any number of shorebird species. All the while, your formally trained Florida Master Naturalist guide will talk to you about the area's ecosystems, it's long history and rich culture. The second part of your excursion is an exploration of a remote barrier island beach ... an island that you only can reach by boat ... an island that few get to experience. Learn about beach dynamics; stroll through the tidal flats and wade the tidal pools of these remote islands.

    Duration 120 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
