This unique experience takes small-group on a boat tour to various destinations around Barrier Island in search of special sea shells. Meet your captain and certified master naturalist guide in Goodland and head out in search of rare and sought-after seashells. Tour destinations may include the Caxambas sandbars, Kice Island, Morgan Island, Second Chance Shell Bar, and others.
Kice Island is regarded as the “shellers” island near Marco. The barrier island has fantastic shells on the gulf shore but is a notoriously difficult anchorage with a shallow mangrove shoreline, and is open to wind and waves. Our expert captains know where to go, and our certified Florida Master Nauturalist guides know where to find the rarest and most exotic shells.
