This was our second shelling trip. As great as the first one was, Captain Nick made this one even better. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was excellent. The shelling was very good, and the dolphins were even more fun. Nick got us to where they were feeding, then others following in our wake, then two pods that came together and were just cruising very slowly along with us.Absolutely worth your time and money!!! CaptAin Nick did a fantastic job teaching us about the area shells and wildlife. Got up close to a pod of dolphin—even heard them blow air!!!

Absolutely worth your time and money!!! CaptAin Nick did a fantastic job teaching us about the area shells and wildlife. Got up close to a pod of dolphin—even heard them blow air!!! Then we spent a glorious time on a desolate spot to grab some seashells. We found sooo many and he was so helpful with their names and where we should find them. The truly memorable moment was when he tracked down a manatee and we saw it get air several times. Captain Nick was gracious and so hospitable. Feel like we made a good friend today! Thanks captain Nick!!! 5 stars for sure!!!Nick did a terrific job customizing the trip to our needs. Our two year old fell asleep so we spent more time touring the water and seeing dolphins. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Nick!

Highly recommend Nick!We had a great time with Captain Nick. It was great for my wife and I and our 2 kids - ages 3 & 5. We saw dolphins, many birds, and got some great shells and pictures. As a bonus, both kids had a chance to "drive" the boat. Would highly recommend.

Nick and Oryan were absolutely the best. We no sooner left the docks when they drove the boats side by side and Curly (the Dolphin) decided to follow us jumping from wake to wake until they ran out of room and ended up in a no wake cove. It was the best and the kids were thrilled to see the Dolphin up close. We saw numerous Dolphins through the trip and a Manatee swimming along the shoreline. Their boats were very comfortable, they were very personable and liked by our entire family. We arrived at Shell Island and they went out of their way helping the kids look for cool shells. Our grandson took 16 small conch shells and 16 regular flat shells and gave them to the kids and 2 teachers in his classroom. He was so excited to tell them how he got them. We had 9 in our family and we needed two boats and believe me these guys are the best. They did everything to make us enjoy the trip, explained things the we saw and were just plain professional when going about their work. I highly recommend Island Excursions and please request Nick. You will not regret one minute of your trip.
