The pair of dolphins playing in our wake - priceless. Our captain was great - well versed and fun to be with.

Our captain, Kate, was really engaging and knowledgeable about the local towns and wildlife! We had a blast seeing dolphins and shelling. Would definitely recommend.

We have a wonderful time. 5 min in and a dolphin was jumping and doing trick in the boat’s wake. Then another. That went on for 10+ min. Then we received education about the wildlife & ecology in the estuary. We finally arrived on Marco Island to shell, explore and swim. It was beautiful and wonderful. We got bags to keep and fill with anything we found. On the way back we talked about the ā€œtreasuresā€ and were taught about those marine creatures. Couldn’t have been a better day!
