Explore remote Ten Thousand Islands beaches, hunt for shells, and learn about local marine life with an experienced guide.

About this tour

Set out from Goodland Boat Park for a shelling adventure among the remote beaches of the Ten Thousand Islands. A quick 15–20 minute boat ride brings you to boat-only shores near Marco Island, where the tide reveals a remarkable variety of shells.

Your captain and shell guide lead the way to spots including Kice Island, Dickmans Island, and other hidden gems. As you explore, learn about the creatures that once lived in your finds, their habits, diets, and how they survive between tides. The trip focuses on hands-on shelling and insight into the local ecosystem, making it rewarding for both first-time beachcombers and experienced collectors.

A fully shaded boat, ample seating, bottled water, shelling bags, and a cooler filled with ice help keep the outing comfortable. Discover the islands one shoreline at a time on this Goodland shelling trip.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 119 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Naples
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2. Top 6% in Naples means it ranks in the top 6% of tours in Naples by this score.
