Great shelling boat trip!

3 Hour – Shelling & Dolphins PM on March 20, 2026 • 5 adults

We had a wonderful time with Captain Nick. His communication when booking and up to the trip was fantastic as were instructions on when and where to meet, it couldn’t have been easier. Nick’s boat is beautiful and he is super knowledgeable about the area, flora and fauna. We saw dolphins playing in the boat’s wake about 5 minutes after boarding! The island Nick took us to 
had literally thousands of beautiful shells, it was incredible. We cant wait to come back when Shell Island reopens, wont hesitate to book with Nick again. Thank you for a lovely day!

Great trip!

3 Hour – Shelling & Dolphins on April 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

Captain Nick led us on a very enjoyable ride to see dolphins both playing in wake and also enjoying their natural habitat. He was knowledgeable of the area and took us to a beach for shelling. We found many very cool shells! Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Excellent 2 hour trip

2 Hour – Dolphin Eco Tour on November 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

Saw plenty of wildlife. Highlight was watching a pod of dolphins feeding and then playfully following in our slipstream. Captain Nick was great fun and very knowledgable.
