We highly recommend this boat trip to Dickmans/Kice Islands! - This boat trip to Kice Island and Dickmans Island was spectacular! It SOOOOO exceeded our expectations! Captain Colleen was our guide, and she was AMAZING -- so knowledgable and gave us all sorts of interesting information both on the way there and back. The shelling was awesome -- we found great seashells and Captain Colleen was right there with us, giving us tips and showing us where to look. On our trip back, she noticed some dolphins and stopped so we could watch them for a bit. The boat trip was worth every penny, and we plan to do it again during any future trip to the area as long as we can go with Captain Colleen again! :)

Capt. Colleen is exceptional! - Best experience of my time in Marco. Beautiful scenery, exciting wildlife and absolutely phenomenal shelling. Our Captain made us feel like we were taking a boat trip with a friend…funny, caring and always willing to share her expertise. Highly recommend this adventure!

Best shelling guide and experience you could ask for! - I give Coleen, our guide a 10+++. She was wonderful! She brought us warm blankets to wrap up in on our way to Dickmans. She let us shell and she was there if we had questions. She shared her finds with us and she made sure we were happy with our location. She was SO knowledgeable about the 10k islands and the wildlife. We met Knuckles the dolphin and she told us all about her. She gave us suggestions on where to eat at Goodland and we loved eating outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We found SO many beautiful and amazing shells! I have knee issues and she was so understanding and made sure I was okay during the trip. When we go back to Florida to shell, I will definitely use Florida Adventures and ask for Coleen!

Successful Shelling! - Even though it was a cold windy day, it was perfect for shelling! Our guide pointed out wondrous nature and interesting history of the area as we rode to and from the island! While we were on the island, he brought us the kinds of shells we wanted that he picked up along the beach! On our way back, two playful dolphins jumped in the wake of our boat for quite a while! We would positively book with him again. We gathered enough shells to fill to the brim five 1-gallon Ziplocs!

Solo Shelling Trip SAVED! - I was going on a solo shelling adventure when my originally scheduled tour company cancelled on me last minute due to weather. Thankfully, Captain Colleen wasn't afraid of a little rain and wind and she and Maria let me join their trip last minute. We spent the morning on a wet and wild shelling adventure and had an amazing time. Captain Colleen did great in the weather and was a great guide. Thank you ladies for saving my shelling day! Next time I schedule, I'm going straight through FL Adventures!

Fantastic Colleen! - Every time we come to SWFL, at least a few times a year, we always go out on a tour with Colleen. She is absolutely the best captain, shell guide and knowledgeable about everything in/on the water. We always learn something new each time we go out. Our family has the best time out on the water with the dolphins or looking for shells!

Best tour ever!!! - Captain Marco brought us to multiple different shelling spots. He taught us so much about the local wildlife and we even had dolphins following our boat. Shelling was the reason we took this trip and this tour exceeded every expectation!!! Thank you for the amazing memories ❤️
