Our guides above were very knowledgeable and relaxed. We saw several dolphins and various species of birds. We went to a cool island and saw some neat sea creatures.

Our family really enjoyed this excursion. Noah and Matt were very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride was fun, lots of dolphin and bird sightings, and getting to see the islands from a different view was nice. Shelling wasn't great but the island was still fun and very nice. The water there was nice and very clear. I had heard... More

Let me first say that Noah and Matt, who did our excursion were superb. They were knowledgable, helpful and fun. The shelling was bad, but that's not their fault, and we had fun hanging around playing on the beach. I will mention that i didn't see much difference in the shells on the island they took us to than i... More

Went on the Lunch and Shelling cruise on 4-24-13. Had a very nice day with Capt. Noah and his mate. Nice cruise up to Cayo Costa where they provided chairs and umbrellas for those who wanted them. Stayed for two hours on a beautiful beach for shelling, swimming, or just relaxing, then went to lunch at Barnacles on N. Captiva,... More

My husband & kids had so much fun digging for anything they could find! We can't wait to go again next year (thankfully my sister moved to Ft. Myers so we can). We didn't see any dolphins but that is OK. That would of been an added bonus. Anyone going on this do not wear flip flops. My mom didn't... More

We had a lovely cruise around Sanibel Island at sunset with the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce staff and volunteers. The staff on board was courteous and knowledgable. I would recommend this cruise. Thanks, Deb at Debonair Concierge Travel Services, LLC

The Shelling and Lunch cruise was by far the best time I have ever had! Capt Noah and Linsey were great! The shelling was great! Lunch was good too at Barnicles! We will certainly do this again next year !

Although we only had a brief glimpse of dolphins and not many bird sightings, it was still a great way to appreciate the natural beauty of this stretch of Florida (San Carlos Bay). The staff on the boat were informative, courteous and very professional. Worth the money.

These guys went the extra mile in making our two excursions something to remember. We circled and chased dolphins even when it meant we wouldn't get back on time. Very friendly crew that seemed to know everything about the waters in the area and very affordable!

We understand seeing dolphins is a matter of luck, but a single osprey was the only representative of the advertised "hundres of feeding birds" for the sunset cruise. Crew seemed as bored as we were, which is inexcusable for the price. Uncomfortable, inward facing seating rounded out the unattractive package.
