About
The 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, adjacent to Everglades National Park, is inaccessible except by boat. Our tour, led by an experienced sheller and certified master naturalist, is limited to 6 persons and will whisk you to a remote barrier island within the Refuge. While barrier islands such as Sanibel or Captiva offer great shelling, these islands rarely have a footprint on the beaches.
Not only can you experience great shelling in a remote location, you will have the opportunity to see dolphins, possibly sea turtles or manatee, and a multitude of birds such as ospreys, eagles, roseate spoonbills, pelicans and the like while cruising to your island.

Cancellation Policy
Fortunately, we are in an area where weather rarely forces us to cancel a tour. We have many choices and options in this wonderful area. However, your captain/guide has the ultimate responsibility for your safety and so will make all "GO and NO-GO'' decisions. There are times when we may delay a departure due to passing weather. If we must make a "NO-GO" decision, you will have an option to reschedule your tour, receive a full refund or join another tour that is not affected by the day's conditions. We want you to enjoy our tours and have a great time. We do realize that situations occur that can alter travel schedules and plans. We limit the number of guests on each tour to assure an intimate experience. Your reservation assures that you will have a position on the tour and that we will not book other guests. Deposits are non-refundable.
If you cancel a tour more than two weeks in advance, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel within two weeks to 72 hours prior to departure, you will have the option to reschedule the tour, receive a non-expiring gift certificate for a future tour or refund less your deposit. If a tour is canceled less than 72 hours prior to the tour departure and you cannot reschedule the tour, the tour fees will be forfeited. At our sole discretion, a full or partial gift certificate may be issued instead.
