This was our first experience doing a shelling tour and chose Sand Dollar Shelling because of…read morefamily members who have taken tours with them. We are so happy that we went with this company because they deliver above and beyond the expectations. Our tour guides were Joey and Taylor Nadotti who were very knowledgeable about the area and what to expect and look for while we were on the boat. I really enjoyed both of them and we will definitely be back to tour again and will definitely be requesting them for our tours. Taylor walked the islands with us and found us all kinds of unique shells, sand dollars, and conch's. Joey turned the boat around so that the dolphins would play in the wake. He also kept us all informed about any weather conditions that might have affected our trip and diverted us to another location while the storm passed by and then finished our excursion. We got to watch the sunset over the Gulf and then a beautiful ride back to the dock. If you're looking for something that is very exciting and informative, then you have to book with them. Our granddaughters fell in love with them both.

My family, a party of 9 and ages 5 through 67, spent the morning in Captain Corey's boat and we all had a great time. We got to see dolphins, manatees, many birds (more on that later)and a couple of islands for shelling. The shelling was AWESOME! Corey was very knowledgeable, conversational, humorous and really good with the kids. Regarding the birds - it was really cool to hear Corey's stories about nurturing birds... You can tell he genuinely cares about the wildlife and it's great for the kids to hear about it. I'm not sure when we will be back to Marco, but when we do we will return to Off The Him for another 3 hour tour (cute the Gilligan music)
