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 was the best of the best. He found specific birds we requested, helped us and identify shells. We had the best time and truly the best guide. He provided us information we will keep for life. Highly recommended.

Very nice time looking for shells in all the secret places known to the captain. We had dolphins following us on the trip out, and then the captain took us to his secret beaches with the best shells. We were finding 4 inch conch shells as as soon as we stepped off the boat. We found sand dollars and many types of huge shells that we couldnt find on the tourist beaches. He told ua all about local birds, what the shells were, and about the islands. Highly recommend. definitely bring shoes you dont mind getting wet, and drinks and snacks. It is a long two hours.

Thanks for taking the time to do this review. Many tout the Shelling on Sanibel, but only those that have not been here!
