• The wildlife refuge of 10,000 Islands, found near the Everglades National Park, can only be reached by boat. Our journey, guided by a seasoned sheller and an accredited master naturalist, will transport you to a secluded barrier island within the Refuge, with a group of only 6 individuals. While well-known barrier islands like Sanibel or Captiva are renowned for their shelling opportunities, the islands we visit are seldom trodden by human feet.

In this secluded setting, not only will you have the chance to enjoy exceptional shelling, but you might also encounter dolphins, potentially sea turtles or manatees, and a range of bird species such as ospreys, eagles, roseate spoonbills, and pelicans while we voyage to your island.

During your shelling adventure, gain insights into the intricate workings of tides and currents and their influence on marine life. Your captain/guide has the ability to turn this journey into a family educational experience.
