Cruzeiro de golfinhos e shelling em Fort Myers Beach

We did this cruise as a group of 3 adults on Monday 29 June from 9 - 12. It was beautiful and the water was perfect - clear and calm. We got great pictures of dolphins and manatees as well as a number of birds. The mangroves islands were full of nesting pelicans. We stopped an hour on Big Hickory Island and did some shelling, wading and swimming. It was perfect. Captain Ty and Ashley were perfect hosts. Ashley had an expert level of knowledge about all the flora and fauna including shell identification! We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back to do this again.

We did see a few dolphins and manatees. The shells were great, but we wanted more of a variety. We had fun.

The Captain Ty gave us a smooth boat ride and we got to see dolphins and manatees! Ashley gave us great information along the way without overloading- nice balance of information and quiet to enjoy the ride. The shelling was fun and we got to swim a bit. We had ten in our group from 11yrs to 65yrs and we all had a great time.

Short, but long enough to experience what was promised.

Have taken this cruise 3 times now and have loved it each time!

We loved the boat ride, shelling, and seeing dolphins. Ty and Ashley did a great job! I would definitely do this again.

Great experience great guides! We saw 12 dolphins and a manatee. Tons of birds with great shelling on the island.

We enjoyed the boat ride, the marine biologist, Christina, shared great information about the birds, dolphins, and sea shells. Josh, the captain, was very gentle around the dolphins, I really appreciated his respect for them. I would recommend this to anyone it is not a party atmosphere which is what we were hoping for.

We had an incredible day with Ashley and Captain Ty. They made sure everyone had a great experience and we did. We saw a fantastic aerial performance from dolphins playing and jumping in the boat's wake. We were able to see several Manatees, even momma and baby. The shelling was great and Ashley took the time to tell everyone what kind we could expect to find and afterwards, what kind of shells we found. The boat was very spacious with lots of room for everyone. I highly recommend.

First off, very easy to book with trip adviser. Got to pick the day we wanted. Only booked it 2 days in advance. Directions and expectations were explained very well. Met our guide Christina exactly when and where it was set to be. We didn't have to pay for parking. Very nice comfortable boat. Water was smooth, and calm. Christina's partner driving was as sweet and friendly as she was. Christins was very informative about the ecosystem, trees, birds, wildlife, marine biology and area. Saw some dolphins along the way close to the boat. Stopping at the island was quite refreshing and just gorgeous. Found a bunch of unique shells, well unique to me. Water was like bath water. Couple things, getting off the boat to go on the island may be difficult for an elderly person, if your footing isn't solid. No snacks or water to buy or was provided. Make sure you bring some. In the heat and being 3 hours long, you will need it. Especially for the kiddos. Someone stays on the boat, so if you need to leave your stuff when shelling, it will be fine. Due to safety concerns, I believe small children are required to sit on the seat, not stand on the seat. But they can stand up and move around on the floor. Seems like a no brainer to me, but thought I would mention it. Also, there is a cute little bar/restaurant right as you get off the boat.
