I wouldn’t have called this a “tour” we were taken to shell key which was beautiful and we had a blast looking for shells. However, this trip gave the impression of a dolphin tour and snorkeling trip. There was no tour just a ride to the beach and we were let off for 30 min and given the option to use snorkels if we wanted while on the beach. There is another company that does drop offs at shell key and you can stay there all day for half the price. We wish we would have done that one instead.

We're sorry you were disappointed. Yes there is a "drop-off" service available for less money. But then again with that cheaper service you're boarding a crowded boat packed with 50 people breathing all over each other, and dropped off on a crowded part of the island, and you may or may not see dolphins. Our service is semi-private with a maximum of 6 people where you easily maintain social distance and we go out of our way to make sure you see dolphins. You also get a full narration on the wildlife and history of the area from our captain. Then we take you to a more secluded part of Shell Key with few people, no crowds. Sorry you don't appreciate the personal service and value we offer. And yes you may be better served by taking a bargain basement tour instead.

We had a wonderful 2 hours on the water! Saw a few dolphins and some beautiful homes. Husband and kids really enjoyed snorkeling - found some sand dollars and beautiful shells. Would definitely recommend!

My family and I just spent our Saturday with Captain Dalton from Island Ferry and we had a blast!! Captain Dalton was knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the area and wildlife. It was awesome seeing the dolphins and we had a great time swimming at shell key. We are new residents to Florida and Captain Dalton made us feel at home. This is a perfect trip for the whole family!! We will be doing many more adventures with Island Ferry!
