Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Half-Day Super Shelling Tour?

A: There aren't strict age restrictions, but they recommend this tour for kids 5 and up. Younger kids can join too, but it'll depend on their interest and attention span. The captains are great with kids and make it fun for the whole family!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it super hot?

A: Definitely wear light, breathable clothing! A hat and sunglasses are must-haves. It can get hot out there, especially around noon. Don't forget sunscreen too, or you might end up looking like a lobster!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is bad, the tour operators will usually offer to reschedule your trip at no extra cost. Just reach out to them as soon as you know, and they're pretty flexible about it. They prioritize safety, so if it's too rough, they’ll cancel.

Just got back from the Super Shelling Tour—so worth it!

I surprised my wife with the Half-Day Super Shelling Tour while we were in Naples, and it was amazing! We saw so many unique shells, including some lightning whelks and a few sand dollars. The captain gave us awesome tips on where to find the best ones. We even learned a bit about the local marine life. If you're thinking about it for a gift, I highly recommend it!

Thinking of gifting the Super Shelling Tour—any tips?

I want to get this experience for my parents who are visiting Naples next month. They love the beach and shelling. Any tips on what to expect or things they should bring?
