5Fun for the whole family
Great experience. I have two 18 year olds and a 14 year old and everyone had a great time. Derek our Captain was also wonderful and really invested in ensuring fun was had by all.
5Wonderful
Amazing experience. Our guide was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend. In a short period of time we got to see wildlife and the shelling was beyond what I imagined.
5Marco Island shelling & dolphin tour
Captain Tyler was great making everyone comfortable on his boat and taking us to the best islands for shelling! You can't miss booking your excursion with Tyler.
5Fun in the Sun
This was such a fun afternoon activity for my family. Captain Matt was super kind and gave us an awesome ride through the waters to find dolphins and beautiful seashells. SO glad we chose to do this!!
5Awesome
Matt, our guide, was great! There were many tours to choice from and we weren’t sure which would be best. We made a great choice. Very laid back and chill. We rode to a private island with a million plus shells - and on the way back saw 5-10 different dolphins. We had 2 kids and 1 elder - great experience for all. 5 stars!
5Dolphin watching
Capt Tyler Osterkamp did a great job all around.

About Naples

Naples lies on Florida's Gulf coast, a city of wide white beaches, canals, golf courses and palm-lined avenues. Its pier, rebuilt several times since the 19th century, stretches out over the water, and Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are lined with shops, galleries and restaurants in Spanish-style and tropical buildings.
