I cannot say enough good things about this tour. I read *lots* of reviews for shelling tours out of Marco Island and landed on this Goodland tour instead because I felt better about the reviews, parking situation, price, and cancellation policy. Captain Paul S. greeted us just as we arrived and was non-stop entertainment the whole time. He took us past all the shore birds we could ask for to an uninhabited mangrove island to shell hunt and topped it off with dolphins on the way back. Even the expert shellers (read shell snobs) found plenty to be excited about! It was fantastic! 🐚 My only regret it that I didn't bring my good camera for all of the bird shots. Do watch your time if you're coming down 75. The traffic can get dumb - even early in the morning. Book a tour today!

Had an amazing trip with our guide Jamie! Saw so many types of beautiful birds, some wild dolphins, and an incredible number of shells! We ended up having a whole island beach to ourselves. 💕 Jamie helped us figure out how to find the rare and interesting shells. She even knew the names of everything I found! When my wife spotted a plastic hat floating in the ocean Jamie pulled the boat around and we pulled it out together. It makes me really happy to be with a guide who cares about and looks after the oceans.

Captain Jamie was great! On the way out, she showed us all of the local birds and flora. She stopped so we can see a dolphin. At the island, she showed us all of the different types of shells. There were so many! Overall, great tour!

What a fun trip ! Our guide Paul S was fabulous , interesting & a wonderful captain . We heard a lot of great information about dolphins & we had them in the wake of our boat . He kept everyone engaged on the ride all enjoyed the 3 hour trip. We went to beautiful sand beaches collected lovely shells. The trip couldn’t have been more enjoyable . If you’re on the fence about going on this trip, buy your ticket and go, you will not regret it.😝

My husband and I have been on many side excursions due to our love for cruising the Caribbean Islands. On this vacation to the Gulf Coast of Florida we decided to try Sand Dollar Boat Tours Shelling out of Goodland, Florida. It was a wonderful morning, a fantastic boat ride, and an even better shelling tour. Captain Jamie began our trip with tracking down some dolphins with good picture opportunities. Then a cruise around the islands mixed with history, facts, and lots of humor. Finally, we landed on a deserted island for our shelling hike. We have shelled many beaches before, including Sanibel, and have never walked past shells just because we had so many already. The variety was excellent, the shells beautiful, and Captain Jamie walked with us identifying the ones we found. Great Trip. Put it on your MUST DO LIST!

Perfect trip, got lots of shells and saw so many dolphins who came right up to our boat! Paul S. Was an excellent Captain who showed us many of the different shells and pointed out bird nests . Best day ever!

Wonderful experience! Captain Paul S. was very informative about the 10,000 islands, the ecosystem and the types of shells we were finding. Also saw a few dolphins. One even took a few leaps in our wake.

It was a small group so very enjoyable. Captain Paul was phenomenal. Attentive and made sure everyone was safe and had fun. I myself have mobility issues and he was great assisting me. Great day shelling. Got to see a manatee as well as dolphins.
