Best-Rated Sanibel Island
Shelling Tours
Experience an unforgettable professionally guided seashell-finding excursion with our Sanibel Island Shelling Tours. On our eco tours, you and your friends and family will embark into the Ten Thousand Islands to secluded islands layered with prized shells that lay untouched by the general public. Sanibel Island is known as a seashell finders paradise with numerous top-notch shells, such as the elusive Junonia shell. But as the general population walks on the beaches, it has become more barren over the years. Our shelling tours are just a short drive south of Sanibel Island. Typically, our guests take a day trip to Marco Island or Naples after they leave our tours with grins on their tanned faces.
Sand Dollar Shelling has been recognized by the Travel Channel and many of the finest resorts on Sanibel Island, Marco Island, and Naples. Over the years, our shelling tours have provided visitors vacationing from around the world with a unique shelling and dolphin tour experience hosted by our knowledgeable and kind captains.
Our Shelling Tours Are On Secluded Islands
Marco Island is just south of Sanibel Island. Both Marco Island and Sanibel Island have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. On our boat tours off the coast of Marco Island, we venture deep into the Ten Thousand Islands to hidden locations that have fascinating shells that lay untouched. The most valuable shell by most is the Junonia shell, which we have found more than any company in Southwest Florida. These islands have beaches that have the title of the Best Shelling Beaches in Southwest Florida because they are layered with very rare and prized shells.
