We tried to book an afternoon dolphin watch cruise three times during our stay. Each time we were told "they weren't" going out that day because they didn't have enough adults to meet their quota. A extremely frustrating experience. Furthermore the girl on the end of the phone was rude and hung-up on us. They've lost this customer's business. Stay... More

The boat ride was nice. We saw lots of dolphins and Captain Larry was knowledgeable about the birds and animals we saw. Lunch was okay, but not fabulous. The shelling on North Captiva was mediocre and we found better shells on Sanibel. Probably would go for a dolphin cruise next time instead of the shelling cruise. The shuttle that picked... More

Both gentlemen were knowledgable about the dolphins, local birds, & Magroves trees, but I was amazed @ their knowledge of Bald Eagles. I definitely didn't expect to see them! WE were entertained while being educated about the local ecosystems! More

Our family went and both captains went literally out of their way to make sure we saw dolphins. Very knowledgable about the wildlife and extremely personable. Would do this again in a heart beat! More

My fiance and I got married on Sanibel Island in Oct. as a destination wedding (kind of). We both live here but our guests flew in from all over the US and we chose AIP as our "Send Off." 42 of our guests joined us for a late morning cruise the day after the wedding and we couldn't have asked...

We booked a tour with this group for their 2 1/2 hour "Sea Life Excursion" for a weekday towards the end of August. As we were leaving home, we received a call saying it had been cancelled for that day due to lack of reservations, but they could accomodate us the following day. Since we were staying 40 minutes from... More

We saw many dolphin, had a great beach stop to get shells and play in the oceon and then on to North Captiva for a wonderful lunch at Barnacle Phils. Would highly recommend this... More

We took the shelling and lunch cruise. There were 4 adults and 4 children under 10 in our party. We had a great time on the beach shelling. The guide and captain were very informative and seemed to know alot about the wildlife in the area. We saw dolphins and a couple of manatees. Lunch at Barnacle Phil's was good,... More

This was a great morning out fishing in the backwater bays of Sanibel Island. The staff was very helpful with my younger son and very knowledgeable of the area and fishing. You don't need to bring anything - they provide everything you need, including a lot of fun! More

Great place to shop. Clothing lines you can't find anywhere else in the area and great service. Clothes are very high quality and I have been back several times. Nothing else like it in Southwest Florida. More
