Treasure Seekers Shell Tours

"What an absolutely fun time we had! I’ve never seen so many shells and the added sightings of dolphins was sure a plus. Leah and Matt could not have been nicer or more helpful. It was a pleasure spending our morning on this tour. Highly recommend!!"

"Another AMAZING TRIP with Treasure Seekers Shell Tours!! We were lucky enough to take a private tour with Captain Jim and Host Josie. (THANK YOU, DAVID!!) We spent our time on Shell Island and found awesome shells. Tulips and true tulips, horse conchs, whelks, a Junonia piece, scallops, olives - basically, an island of endless shells. We also found not one, but 2 scotch bonnets! Lots of occupied shells, as well. A real treat to see! If you're hesitant about booking a trip, just go for it. I have been on several trips with Treasure Seekers and I have NEVER been disappointed. Everyone is friendly, helpful and their main goal (after safety) is for you to have a great time. Book it! You won't be disappointed!"

"4 of us booked the 3 hour tour and it was fabulous from start to finish. The Goodland Boat Park had a gift shop, a large veranda with rocking chairs to comfortably await our tour. There are clean bathrooms and ramps to accommodate disabled people. Our Captain Matt and first mate Sarah were awesome. They were very helpful to this old lady who has a very bad knee. They made it easy to get in and off the boat. The scenery of the "10,000 islands" is spectacular with osprey, herons, Ibis, egrets and fish. Captain Matt took us to a beautiful island beach with loads of gorgeous seashells and he expertly maneuvered the boat so we could disembark in ankle deep water. Sarah was so helpful in finding and identifying shells and other sea life. (we later learned she is a certified USCG captain AND a Florida master naturalist.). If a beautiful 80° day, gorgeous scenery and loads of sea shells wasn't enough, we were treated to a fantastic display of dolphins performing their fish hunting routine. We saw a momma dolphin with her baby and watched the pelicans circle above and help themselves to the mullet that the dolphins had rounded up. But wait, there's more! We were treated to a fantastic display of agility by a pod if dolphins who rode the stern wake of our boat off and on for several minutes. It was truly amazing to see these beautiful creatures up close! If you are ever in the Marco Island area, I highly recommend the Treasure Seekers tours!"

"Loved Deb and Captain Matt on our Shelling tour this week. Our family of 4 felt safe and informed the entire day. We had a blast on the ride and while shelling, the uninhabited, Shell Island. Gorgeous finds and lots of fun! Although it is pricey, we felt it was well worth the experience. We’d recommend!"

"I did the 645 am four hour tour. It was an amazing experience. Detailed instructions are given so I knew where to meet and what to bring. My shuttle drivers were so friendly and helpful. Dylan was our captain and he was so great and always made sure we were safe getting in and out of the boat and while he was driving. Transportation wise it ran efficiently and exactly as was stated. Hannah was our shell guide. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She gave great tips on what to look for to find the best shells. She helped me to find a giant horse conch. I was nervous once the other tours showed up for shelling but the amount of shells available are enormous and plenty for all. I talked to another guest who has done different tours but she said Treasure Seekers was the best in her experience. It is worth the price and I am already trying to figure out when I can return."
