Good day out for family.

Ian and Cael were fantastic. Mother nature worked in our favor for dolphin sightings. Our shelling spot was beautiful and plentiful.

Great boat trip, good value for money 😊

Great few hours boat trip. We saw Dolphins, collected shells and attempted snorkelling however the tide was quite rough so not a lot to see Hosts Ian and Taylor were really great sharing information about the different areas along the journey and top tips about the area too

Great experience

This was such a fun addition to our vacation! The guides are great and meet up is easy to find. It is right at the brewery. You can also bring your own refreshments. While not guaranteed of course, we did see so many dolphins! Shell Key is awesome and got soo many cool shells.

Lots of fun!

We had a great time! We saw a lot of dolphins on our way out to shell key. And when we got there, there were so many shells! We weren't able to snorkel because of the recent tropical storm, but that didn't matter! We had a wonderful excursion and the staff was very friendly. We traveled with our two kids and this was just enough time for everybody to not get bored.

Dolphins and shells!

This was a wonderful experience with dolphin sightings and great shells! The only thing I’d say is remember your drinks and sunscreen. I forgot drinks and we were HOT!! It’s Florida we should have known! Would do this again!

Good trip for us

We had a good time. We were able to see alot of dolphins ( even a baby just a couple of days old). We connected many larger shells and large sea dollars. Unfortunately the water was stirred up pretty good and Telly really warm but that’s no control of the facility.

An absolute treasure

Absolutely a treasure to remember. The shell island was a surprise. For my husband who is 70 and never experienced this was memorable
