Our experienced captains strive to provide not only a safe but comfortable ride through the Ten Thousand Islands waterways. It'll take about 15-20 minutes to reach the best shelling spots.

4. Boarding Process

All of our islands are only accessible by boat and are uninhabited. This means that on the islands there are no docks and boarding may take place on the sand or in the water. While it is uncommon, be prepared to get up to your waist in the water if necessary. Our tour requires you to be active and mobile. Guests will need to be able to get on and off a boat unassisted using a ladder.

5. Active island adventures

Shelling tours involve walking on uneven sandy ground, around tree stumps, and through mud throughout the tour. Expect to walk a distance of at least one mile in such conditions. If you have difficulty walking or have a physical disability, please consult our office before your tour date, so we can make appropriate accommodations.

Visit our online store to add mesh shell bags or logo buckets to your tour! Purchase the bags in advance of your tour and we’ll have them ready for you when you board your boat. Additional recommendations include:
