Captain Lloyd and our guide Sonya were a fabulous team and did an amazing job! Both were very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Our family had a wonderful time and learned a lot of new things along the way! We saw many dolphins and found great shells! Highly recommend this duo for your next adventure and will request them again!
Captain Elliot did great on the tour, he was very knowledgeable about the land and answered all our questions. Even helped my daughter and wife find some sand dollars. We will definitely be back next time we are able to be down thwt way.
A perfect tour for my family. The guides were so knowledgeable on everything that we were seeing. My girls learned so much and saw so much sea life!
Had a great time. Very knowledgeable team who kept all of us engaged. Saw dolphin pods and had a manatee encounter. Boats are well equipped both with equipment and also personnel. My 4 yr old had a great time, warm shallow waters with a lot of shelling to do on the beach. Would do it again.
Great tour! Colleen and Elliot were the best guides! We got to see dolphins and manatees, learn about the area and found lots of great shells!
Lloyd was such an incredible captain! He taught us so much throughout the tour and we really had the best time. He even knew the behavior of the dolphins and saw they were in the mood to play, and they joined us for about ten minutes doing so many spins and jumps. The ride was a week ago and my three year old is still talking about it! He helped us find really cool shells too! Not one complaint about the experience. The ONLY suggestion I have for people is to make sure you are loaded up with bug spray if you get bad reactions - the parking lot was swarmed with mosquitos and I was covered. The second we got on the boat, the bugs were not an issue so no need to worry about that, but they were latching onto us the second we opened our car door.
Our ‘skippers’ Coleen and Jessica were outstanding! Their personality and knowledge blended to make this a memorable excursion. Their highlight of the trip were dolphins jumping in the wake as we headed to ‘Shell island’. Highly recommend!
Captain Coleen was very knowledgeable a Captain Lloyd was funny! We had a wonderful time! We saw 5 manatees and a mother dolphin and her calf. Lots of beautiful birds too. We learned so much about this amazing ecosystem and had a great time shelling.
Colleen and Lloyd were really knowledgable and great hosts. We found so many great shells and saw several pods of dolphins. It was a great tour overall.
Tour guides were very knowledgeable and personable. They took their time to explain all that we were seeing, and answer the questions of all participants. Very child friendly tour and guides. Great shelling opportunity.
