2-hour Shelling Boat Tour in the 10,000 Islands

Overview

The 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, adjacent to Everglades National Park, is inaccessible except by boat. Our tour, led by an experienced sheller and certified master naturalist will whisk you to a remote barrier island within the Refuge. While barrier islands such as Sanibel or Captiva offer great shelling, these islands rarely have a foot print on the beaches.
Not only can you experience great shelling in a remote location, you will have the opportunity to see dolphin, possibly sea turtles or manatee, and a multitude of birds such as ospreys, eagles, roseate spoonbills, pelicans and the like while cruising to your island.

While shelling, learn about the nuances of tides and currents and how it affects sea life. Your captain/guide can make your tour a family learning experience.

Captain Ed did a fantastic job of introducing a couple of newbies to shelling! He was full of information and he helped us find some really unique shells! On our return trip we stopped and watched some dolphins feed and play. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour that morning as well!

We had such a nice boat ride! Saw so many birds, a dolphin, and just loved the scenery! Chris took us to two really cool beaches and we found tons of shells. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon exploring all the islands! Only two others on the boat with us and it felt like a private tour.
