Dolphins and Manatees
Dolphins and Manatees have a reputation for being very curious, friendly, social mammals. I have observed this personally for years. It has always been my rule that we never do anything to entice or harass them. We do not feed them, but we do watch them feed and play in their natural environment from a safe distance.
On some occasions I have observed them playing in the boat wake; this they do on their own. The young Dolphins love to jump and play. On several trips we’ve observed them playing with floating mangrove seeds and leaves as if they were toys, and also manatees feeding on turtle grass as they float over the grass beds. So come along and enjoy an Eco-Friendly Dolphin Cruise with MangroveMasters and observe Dolphins and Manatees in their natural habitat.
Sanibel Island Beach and Shelling Excursions
Sanibel Island is one of the top destinations in the world for shelling. So much so, locals dubbed the art of bend at the waist while scouring the shores as the ‘Sanibel Stoop’. On a MangroveMasters beach and shelling excursion you will have the opportunity to visit some of Sanibel and Captiva Island’s most exclusive beaches (some only accessible by boat) and search for our area’s native gems. So bring your shell bag and sunscreen and let’s do the Sanibel Stoop!
