What To Expect

TEN THOUSAND ISLANDS NWR

Consisting of two parts, The Dolphin, Birding and Shelling Tour is a wonderful experience for the whole family and a great introduction to the area. First a dolphin tour to search for dolphins and wading birds on a naturalist-led boating tour. Then a shelling tour to explore an uninhabited barrier island. You will learn about island’s beach dynamics and collect some of the wonderful shells on these remote islands.

The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. 45 minutes on the island for shelling was just enough time and our time on the boat was full of wildlife viewing and learning about the area.

People were nice but way way way overpriced. You drive to a place to pick up shells and then drive back. No sight seeing. Just a few facts about birds and trees. And they don’t provide water or anything. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Nicole, I am sorry that you were disappointed. We asked that guests bring whatever they want to eat or drink. We stopped supplying plastic water bottles long ago in favor of a more sustainable approach. We do supply shell collecting bags for those that do not bring their own. Did you not enjoy the dolphins playing behind the boat? or the Manatee mom and her calf. The trees are mangroves that built everyone of the 10,000 Islands...one of the very few places on the planet where islands are created by biological action rather than a geo-physical event.
