Captain Keegan went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. From getting the dolphins to swim in the wake of the boat, to finding fish for us to see snorkeling, pointing out sea a sea turtle and sharing fun facts, he made it fun for all of us. Highly recommended… even for locals like ourselves. 😊
We had such a fun time visiting the charter finders and experiencing the dolphin shelling cruise. We saw some dolphins on our way, and got up close to many birds. We didn’t see any sea turtles or manatees but to cruise out to the beautiful waters on shell key/island and then snorkel for shells, for us, was the best part of the whole experience. We found sand-dollars and lots of pretty shells to keep. I couldn’t get enough pictures of all the beauty out there. Very good deal for the price you pay. The boat isn’t big and beautiful, but that wasn’t part of our expectations. We definitely got a what we paid for and expected. We want to do this again, but with our whole family next time!
We absolutely loved this cruise! Captain Barry was amazing and very informative. Go on this cruise!!
I was hesitant to spend this much money for a boat cruise, but I was pleasantly surprised! Mahi Mike was our captain and he was knowledgeable about sealife and made sure my kids and I had a great experience. I will definitely book this tour again!! Worth the money!!
The boat was comfortable- the captain was great. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We saw dolphins and a manatee. Shell island is also beautiful
Went on the wildside tour boat with Captain Mahi Mike and Garin. Saw dolphins and a manatee, and found some great shells and Sand Dollars. Great Job crew
We had an amazing time! The dolphins were beautiful and performed for us. Our time snorkeling and finding shells and sand dollars was so much fun. Could have done this everyday! Thanks to Captain Tim for sharing his knowledge and expertise of the water. He even found a school of Stingrays and showed us. It was the best!
There were five women on our tour and we were ready to have fun!! We were not disappointed!! Captain Tim and his First Mate were so fun and laid back! We had the best time of our vacation! We snorkeled, found lots of sand dollars and shells, we enjoyed our boat ride and tour, we saw dolphins, one even swam along with our boat, and we were lucky enough to see a manta ray jump out in front of the boat! If we’d had more time, we probably would have gone again! If you are looking for a fun, yet relaxing tour, this is the one you want!
We had an amazing time snorkeling at Shell Key! The kiddos found so many sand dollars and shells, it was a blast!!! Highly recommend!
Captain Tim and First Mate Mike were AWESOME.. clean boat - friendly - knowledgeable about the history or the islands we visited - snorkeling gear for all 6 of us !! We will definitely be doing this again!!!
