Our family of 7 did a two hour private tour with Marco and Colleen. They were the best, treated us like life long friends. Very knowledgeable and informative. We got to see osprey nests with babies, manatees, dolphins and did some shelling. Dolphins provided a spectacular show for us. It was an AWESOME trip and HIGHLY recommend.

The whole experience was just Awesome!!! Captain Marco was amazing!!! He was a wealth of knowledge and experience. We took lots of pictures and videos. We look forward to doing this again, next time we come back to the area!!!

Captain Colleen was fantastic! So knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife, she was very happy to help answer our questions. She also helped us pick out some shells and showed us interesting stuff including a shredded horse shoe crab shell. We saw lots of dolphins, she knew them by name, due to their distinctive dorsal fin. They followed us in the wake of our boat,so we got to see them really closely. We were also really lucky to have a private tour as no-one else had booked at the time we picked. She was great with our young kids,highly recommend, such a memorable trip!

We've been on this tour before and enjoyed learning about the area, the importance of the ManGroves, sea life, seeing the dolphins and getting questions answered about all the above. Colleen is so knowledgeable and loves answering questions...If you have a curious mind about Nature in this area I suggest you go on this tour!

Great experience saw a lot of dolphins and the staff was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for sightseeing around Marco island

Fun tour, Gloria and Christine were very knowledgeable of the wild life and we even got to see dolphins., we had plenty of time.to look for the best shells

Colleen and Elliott- our boat captain and tour guide were amazing! Locals who knew just what to do to insure seeing dolphins, neat birds, and of course awesome shells. They answered all (from age 5 to 42) our ?s and we all leanred so much.

Our family had THE BEST time on this tour. Captain Christina and Elliot are very knowledgeable, even as native Floridians we learned so much! My kids (6yo and 4yo) have already been asking to do it again! Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!

We went on this tour with 8 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of room for everyone. Lots of fun for everyone. We saw dolphins and a hammerhead shark. We also found beautiful shells and sand dollars and held them in the shelling bags provided. The captain, Marco, and guide, Katie, were very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife that live here. They ensured that both adults and kids in our group had a great time!

We saw dolphins slapping their tails. Elliott was a fantastic guide. Captain Christine was a wonderful captain whose knowledge extended beyond driving the boat. Elliott was amazing at answering questions. We saw horseshoe crabs and a lot of interesting things.

This was a very informative excursion regrading life and preservation of the 10,000 Islands. Elliot was our guide, having grown up on Marco Island he made it a fascinating trip (ask him about pythons) Our Capt. Christina, knew the waterways and navigated beautifully to give us a fun and safe ride. Our family loved watching and learning new things about the dolphins and their pods. We recommend this awesome crew and this excursion that makes you truly appreciate Marco Island and its history.

Guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We had a wonderful boat trip and shelling adventure. Our captains were very informative and alot of fun. We definitely recommend this trip!!!

This is a great tour of the mangroves and shelling. Captain Christine and guide Elliot were absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area. Everything from parking to exploring was extremely well planned. Thanks for a great trip!

We loved this Trip. The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and our guide helped us find shells we would normally not see! We saw dolphins several times on the trip which made it an excellent experience

Capt Kristina and naturalist Elliot were both very knowledgeable about the area, sea life, birds and shells. Very accommodating when a dolphin was spotted to make sure everyone got to view them. They were super friendly and answered all questions very professionally. On another note for customers: come on people….your on vacation spending a lot of money to do extra tours (that means you can afford it)…it’s really disheartening to see people getting into $70K+ vehicles and can’t give these hard working young people a tip!!

We had a great time with Captain RJ & guide Christine. They were both knowledgeable and friendly. The weather was sunny and mild. We got shell bags and ice cold water. They told us where to find shells and Christine even gave me a shell to lure me back to the boat! We got to see dolphins on the return trip. Great for any age.

Our guide and captain were great! Very informative and answered everyone's questions. We learned a lot & had a good time.

The best part of my Marco Island stay has been our tour of Ten Thousand Island NWR WITH captain Colleen of Florida Adventures and Rentals. Colleen was very knowledgeable and quite personable. We didn't give her much to go on, but Colleen picked up on our interests and tailored the tour to maximize our enjoyment. We explored the mangroves and spent time on the beaches shelling and watching the numerous birds.

The captain was amazing he really makes sure you can see as much as possible with what nature gives you, but we saw so many dolphin encounters & the shelling was fantastic!!! Very knowledgeable also!
