Our best value tour. Imagine shelling on islands that are NOT picked over daily by 100's of people. With your naturalist guide, learn not only about individual shell animals, but learn "how to" shell from our Shelling Guru. This is an excellent "hands-on" experience for the young and old alike. Your naturalist guide will facilitate parents and grandparents wanting to be the educators. This is not a typical preprogrammed tour. Every day and every tour can be different, so be sure to discuss with your guide the possibilities. This tour is approximately 3.5 hours in duration and departs twice daily at 8:30 and 1:30. Advanced reservations are required. Don't forget your cameras! Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

    The 10,000 Islands Excursion is the best way to experience the natural world around Marco Island. Conducted within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, you will experience what many describe as, "The Best of Florida". The tour is a two-part experience. The first part is a slow, intimate boating tour amongst the remote islands of the Ten Thousand Islands. While you search for dolphins, manatees and sea turtles, you may encounter ospreys, bald eagles, ibis, roseate spoonbill, egrets, herons and any number of shorebird species. All the while, your formally trained Florida Master Naturalist guide will talk to you about the area's ecosystems, it's long history and rich culture. The second part of your excursion is an exploration of a remote barrier island beach ... an island that you only can reach by boat ... an island that few get to experience. Learn about beach dynamics; stroll through the tidal flats and wade the tidal pools of these remote islands.

Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. There were only four people on the boat, which was great. The boat was below average I would say, just a flat platform with a few chairs bolted down. Not particularly comfortable. No bathrooms for a 3.5 hour tour. I also thought for $150 each it would have been a nice gesture to have a cooler with some cold water, or something. I brought water, but I saw other tours go by with coolers and I thought that would have been very nice! My daughter enjoyed shelling. We only stopped on one island and several other boats were there at the same time. It wasn’t crowded necessarily, but it made it feel like a tourist stop. As much as I wanted 3.5 hours, I think a two hour cruise would have been plenty.

Our guide was awesome!!! He was so knowledgeable- we learned so much about the amazing ecosystem that surrounded us. Shelling was great and we were able to see dolphins jumping in the wake of the boat as we cruised through the islands !
