About
Consisting of two parts, The Dolphin, Birding and Shelling Tour is a wonderful experience for the whole family and a great introduction to the area. First a dolphin tour to search for dolphins and wading birds on a naturalist-led boating tour. Then a shelling tour to explore an uninhabited barrier island. You will learn about the island's beach dynamics and collect some of the wonderful shells on these remote islands.
In comfortable captain's style seating an, you will be safely brought deep into the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge for a two-hour interpretive tour of the area led by a Florida Master Naturalist. Depending on the season, you can expect to encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, rosette spoonbills, as well as, numerous species of fish and shore birds.
The entire Everglades area, including Everglades National Park and the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, is a wonderful place for wildlife, particularly manatees, dolphins, and wading birds. Marco Island is one of the largest and the western most of the 10,000 Islands. We will spend some time exploring and shelling on one of the other 9,999 Islands!

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.
