Great time with captain Marco. He accommodated a change in schedule due to weather. The trip was awesome and we found many rare shells. He was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his job. Thank you captain Marco!

Four women went on this 2-hour shelling trip to an island at the beginning of the Ten Thousand Islands area. First, the boat was very comfortable and Marco, our guide, made us feel like it was our own boat. He has a clear speaking voice that projects well, so we could converse or listen to him narrate while under way and while walking along the beach. After traveling a short distance we got to the shelling island beach and had no trouble getting on and off the boat. As we walked and collected shells, Marco told us things we never knew about shells and was able to identify anything that came from the sea, plus give interesting background. After shelling he took us to see the dome homes, and he gave such an informative account of why and how they got there and what happened to them. Throughout the trip he wove details about the ecology and development of the area and how he has interacted with his surroundings. He clearly communicated his love and knowledge of the area around Marco Island. During the trip we also had dolphins jumping in the boat's wake--an awesome sight. The scenery he took us past was beautiful. All of us would highly recommend taking this trip!

This was a great morning out, we visited the strange dome homes and learned a lot about that crazy yet visionary retreat. On the way lots of information about the 1000 islands, flora and fauna. Finally a walk in a great shelling beach, with more interesting information about the various shells. Only thing missing was a more thorough safety briefing.
