Coastal Sealife Dolphin & Shelling Cruise

A Deeper Dive into the Wildlife and Wonders of Estero Bay

Discover the wild beauty of Estero Bay on our most immersive nature cruise — a 3-hour adventure where dolphin sightings are guaranteed! This tour is perfect for nature lovers, shell collectors, and anyone looking to experience Southwest Florida’s coastal magic up close.

Led by certified naturalists or a biologist, the cruise combines expert insight with hands-on exploration. You’ll journey out to a secluded barrier island, where you’ll have time to stroll the beach, search for unique shells, wade in the shallows, or simply soak up the sun. We typically spend about an hour on the island before continuing our wildlife cruise.

Keep an eye out for playful dolphins, gentle manatees, and a wide variety of native birds that frequent the mangroves and shoreline. With fewer guests onboard — just 28 passengers max — you’ll enjoy clear, unobstructed views and a more personal, relaxed experience.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner, or bringing the whole family, this cruise offers the perfect mix of education, exploration, and coastal charm.

We have been going on Good Time Charters since our kids were little. We appreciate their eco conscious experience. We have had Captain Ty the past 2 times and he always teaches us something new. They are patient with our kids (ages 12, 9, and 7 now but have been going since they were 7,4, and 2). We have seen dolphins, osprey, pelicans, and even manatees. The shelling off little hickory island is always great.
