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.
Booking Notes
##Below are some details about your activity:
• Please plan to arrive 20-25 minutes before so that you can park and use the bathroom facilities. We will board the boat 5 minutes before your departure time so that we may leave on time.
• Please meet your guides under the pavilion to the left of the main building. They will help you get parked if needed. The Goodland Boat Park does charge $10 for parking. There is free parking outside of the gate to the left along the fence.
Please bring water, hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothing. Due to the warm Florida weather, we highly recommend bringing plenty of water and applying sunscreen before your tour. Guests are welcome to bring a small personal cooler with drinks and snacks if desired. Shelling bags are included!
Please remember that if you need to cancel or reschedule the activity for any reason, you can call 239-695-0000 or email MarcoIslandBoatTours@gmail.com. If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch.
For our records, we would love to know how you heard about us and where you are staying while you are in the area.
###Please note all guests must complete a waiver before the tour. You’ll receive a separate email from Everglades Area Tours with the waiver link—check your spam folder if you don’t see it. If it’s in spam, mark it as “not spam” for the link to work.
We look forward to having you!
