The shelling on Shell Key was nice and should receive top billing on the tour. Dolphin "watch" should be last as it is only a watch for dolphin band you might glimpse one or two. It is definitely not worth top billing. These are wild animals and they only show up if conditions are just right. You do not get a close up of any.

Michele sorry if you were disappointed, but dolphins come up close to the boats constantly, as indicated in other customers' reviews and photos, and our FB page. Conditions have nothing to do with whether they "show up". Perhaps I'm missing on what your idea of what a dolphin watch is. If you're looking for a close encounter with dolphins you might be better served visiting a place like Discovery Cove in Orlando. I really don't think the eco-tour product is your thing.

Not many dolphins but my kids loved snorkeling for shells! All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Captain Dalton and his wife Lacy were great! Wish it could of lasted all day. We saw stingrays, fish and went out of his way to make sure we saw a dolphin and we had a manatee that swam up right next to our boat. We snorkeled for an hour on beautiful Shell Key. Also gave us some history about the islands.
