We couldn't have asked for a better time. It was already a special time having our family together but having a private boat excursion with Captain Nick made it even better. Nick was an amazing guide. We saw some very promiscuous dolphins. We had an exhilarating ride through the mangroves while Nick explained the history of the area. Then we went to a large sandbar where there were a countless number of shells. Nick provided us buckets to collect as many shells as we wanted. He also helped us find quite a few spectacular ones. He had a cooler full of water and plenty of room to store our own cold refreshments Nick was very engaging. We learned all about his life. He provided us with several great recommendations of places to go, including the Island Gypsy Cafe (which have the best Pina Coladas). All in all it was a great time and an experience we won't forget.

I had the most incredible experience on the dolphin tour! The dolphins playing in the boat's wake was amazing. Being in a smaller boat makes the experience up close and personal with the dolphins. Captain Nick's knowledge about the mangroves and sea life was impressive and added to the tour. It was definitely the best dolphin tour I've ever been on, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable marine adventure.

I feel like Tyler is a dolphin whisperer. The way he could spot a dolphin and get them to play with the boat wake was nothing short of amazing. What a trip! It was better than anything we could have asked for!

We have booked excursions in many places, in many countries, and this was hands down the best one we’ve done. Nick was incredible-he was extremely personable and accommodating to our family of 11 which ranged in age from 1 to 65. We had dolphins literally jumping around our boat and could reach out and touch manatees. The shell island was also super cool. 10/10 would recommend this to ANYONE-couples, families, etc. You will absolutely not regret booking this one. Thank you, Nick and team!

Nick was a great guide and took our family of four out to see the dolphins and for some great shelling. He even went out of his way to find a sand dollar and the pink shells our daughters were looking for. This was a super easy and fun excursion to break up the trip!

Wonderful trip exploring 10,000 islands, shelling and dolphin spotting. We have four kids ranging in age from 3-10, and everyone said it was the best part of our trip. Nick is great and a wealth of knowledge!

Nick was the best guide. Easy going, started on time, knows how to show you the best experience. We were able to see a Manatee even though we thought it might be too early in the season. Adults and kids in our group give A++!!

Tour was awesome, we got to see grandma Curly (60 yr old dolphin), shelling was fun and watching the sunset 🌅 on the water. Captain Nick was great.

Great experience all around that I would recommend to anyone, but especially families with small children. Nick was a great guide and educated us about the area, local flora and wildlife. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and a number of interesting birds. The kids had a great time shell collecting and it was great to have Nick there to educate us on the difference shells we found.

Our family had a wonderful time on this excursion! Nick was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go for the best shells and taught the kids about all the varieties of wildlife we encountered. We highly recommend this tour to everyone interested in a shelling and dolphin excursion in southwest Florida.
