10,000 Islands Boat Excursion - 3.5-Hour Dolphins & Shelling Tour; Cape Romano!

Overview

This is a premier experience in the Marco Island area and is superb for the entire family... from toddlers to the grandparents. It is a personalized eco-adventure. Every day is different in the Everglades and 10,000 Islands so we try to be very flexible and dynamic. The tour may/will include a bit of birding, some photography, strolling thru tidal pools, shelling on a remote beach, exploration of one of the 10,000 Islands and a visit to the very tip of Southwest Florida - Cape Romano! The first part of the experience is a guided boating eco tour in search of the areas rich wildlife. The second part is an interpretive, guided walk on a remote barrier island to explore the island's beaches, tidal pools and inter-tidal zones. Absolutely the best shell collection opportunities in Florida!

Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

Don McCumber was a deeply informed naturalist and story teller who introduced us to shell creatures, the mangrove tree mysteries of making islands, and some history along the way. He persuaded a mother and child dolphin pair to surf our wake! Ask him about kayaking from Cuba to Key West! The time could not have been better spent.

It sounds like Capt. Don made your experience truly unforgettable! Doesn't get much cuter than a mom and baby playing in the boat wake.. It’s wonderful that you found the time so well spent. Thanks for sharing and coming out with us!

Thank you for the review ! A good captain who can share insight and knowledge about the 10,000 islands makes a tour so much more enriching. It’s great to hear that the boat was easy to board and disembark from. Thanks again for coming out with us!

We took a Eco and shelling tour with Capt. Joe. Joe was very knowledgeable about the ten thousand island area. We saw many birds of all sizes and many dolphins. We went to 3 different islands searching for shells. Found different ones at each place. Joe was a great guide, I’d definitely book again next time here
