Discover The Hidden Treasures Of The Ten Thousand Islands On A Self Guided Shelling Adventure


Explore the stunning waters of Marco Island and Goodland, Florida, on a self-guided shelling adventure designed for nature lovers. Led by experienced local captains, this tour allows you to discover the most productive and secluded shelling islands at your own pace. You will learn fascinating insights about the local marine life and the delicate coastal ecosystem while enjoying a safe and comfortable boat ride through the serene beauty of the Southwest Florida waterways.


With a strong focus on eco-friendly practices, this tour encourages you to collect shells responsibly while connecting with the natural environment. You will spend hours exploring uninhabited islands, walking along sandy shores, and discovering unique shells while your captain offers guidance and fun facts about the Ten Thousand Islands. It is an immersive outdoor experience that balances adventure, relaxation, and education, making it a perfect choice for families, couples, and dedicated shelling enthusiasts alike.


The journey begins at Goodland Boat Park, where you will set off to find your own private stretch of beach. Capture scenic views, observe coastal wildlife in their natural habitat, and enjoy the tranquility of this natural paradise. The tour emphasizes environmental stewardship, ensuring that the islands remain pristine for future visitors. Whether you are seeking a fun family outing or a quiet, romantic escape, the experience provides a memorable break from the everyday life.


This tour is designed to provide a deep connection with the outdoors, allowing you to appreciate the biodiversity of the region. By exploring the islands independently, you can focus on the details that interest you most, from rare shell varieties to bird watching. The combination of expert captain support and the freedom of a self-guided exploration creates a unique balance, ensuring you leave with both a collection of beautiful shells and lasting memories of Florida.

The trip was so awesome!! Crew took us to a cute little island where we found so many treasures!! I loved it all. Dominic, our guide, walked around with us and helped us find shells. He was also very helpful with identifying everything we found. Trevor, our captain, took us on scenic route on way back so we can see dolphins. Sad, we did not get lucky to see any but thank you for trying :) Overall an A+ Thank you so much for a great experience!!!

I had an excellent day in the Ten Thousand Islands with Treasure Seekers! Our trip was to Shell Island...the island sure lives up to its name! The entire island is made of shells. Our captain, Richard, dropped us at the end of the island opposite where others were landing. He wanted to make sure we had that end of the beach to ourselves. Our guide Kim was very knowledgeable and helpful. She had lots of tips and made sure everyone had a great time.
