Traveler reviews
So much wildlife, what an experience!
Excellent experience with Dave. We were lucky enough to see 3 dolphins, a manatee, sand dollars, crabs, and plenty of fish. What an experience! Excellent value for money would definitely book again.
Great Experience
Our guide, Dave, was awesome! Interesting and relevant information/facts from him. Gave us ample time to enjoy all the dolphins. Cooler on board for our drinks… Great. He didn’t just leave us at Shell key, he stayed with us, which was nice. Only thing I would say is maybe it could’ve been a little bit longer. Only had about 45 minutes or so at the island. Other than that, it was great and I would book again with Dave!😊
Great Captain and Tour
Captain Dave was excellent. My family really enjoyed the experience and would book again next time!
Great boat outing!
Dave was an amazing captain…he got us up close to dolphins and manatees and recommended a snorkeling spot where the water was clear and we saw several crabs as well as other sea life. Dave also had a lot of “fun facts” along the trip. I would definitely recommend this outing!
Prefect experience
My first impression was not good as Viator messed up our reservation with the tour company but Island Ferry accommodated us for the following wkd and it turned out to be a perfect day. Captain Dave was very informative about the wildlife and was a very cautious driver, we saw two dolphin pods that hung out around our boat for at least 15 minutes! And we also saw a manatee swimming close to shore on Shell Key. Overall the weather was perfect and the tour was fantastic. Beautiful beach and water. Would highly recommend touring with this company again.
