Capt Joe!!!! Great guy great tour hands down - We took a Eco and shelling tour with Capt. Joe. Joe was very knowledgeable about the ten thousand island area. We saw many birds of all sizes and many dolphins. We went to 3 different islands searching for shells. Found different ones at each place. Joe was a great guide, I’d definitely book again next time here

Highlight of my Vacation - Amazing time! Joe, our Captain and tour guide, was flexible, knowledgeable, and charming. We went to two remote beaches on two different islands, saw dolphins right next to the boat, and saw manatees. This, by far, was the highlight of my trip to Southwest Florida.

Awesome! - It was just me and my husband on our last excursion of our honeymoon. Couldn’t have ended on a sweeter note. Captain Kate was awesome, tailored our outing to what we wanted to do and see. We saw playing dolphins, mama Osprey, jumping sting rays, and found awesome shells. And we learned a lot from Captain Kate. It was a fabulous afternoon on the water. Highly recommend.

Captain Joe gives a wonderful tour! - We loved our trip with Captain Joe and Katelyn. They were friendly and knowledgeable. Captain Joe asked us what we'd like to see and adapted our trip to accommodate our requests. Had so much fun watching the dolphins leaping in the air and swimming with our boat. Definitely recommend.

Highly Recommend! - We had a great time! The Captain, Jeff, was awesome. Very nice guy and super knowledgeable about everything we saw. We saw all sorts of cool birds, he took us to a place where we found more cool shells than we have in two weeks! We saw dolphins and Jeff provided info on all of it. Highly recommended!

Pretty tour but absolutely no comforts - The boat captain was very knowledgeable & nice, but the boat did not have a canopy for any sun protection, no water/drinks, towels or any amenities for a 3.5 hour tour, it was as basic as it gets for $139/person. The seating was a bit tight on hard metal benches, just no amenities for comfort. We would’ve chosen differently if we’d known this. The tour was beautiful though!
