We had a blast booking with Fossil Funatics! The guide was so knowledgeable. We were supplies with some sifting equipment which was very helpful. He even let us keep some of his findings! I highly recommend booking with Fossil Funatics. read more

What a beautiful day we had out on the Peace River looking for sharks teeth and fossils! Patrick was patient, very thorough, and took meticulous attention to safety conditions, but maximum yield on our findings! The perfect combo for locating the good stuff. Patrick took the extra time to really make it fun for our two 7-year old boys also, which made the day even more rewarding watching the excitement and wonder in the kids. But honestly the excitement and wonder was not lost on any of us adults either. We found SO many awesome teeth! One of our crew lost his carrying box with all his fossils and Patrick spent the last part of our trip swimming the river trying to find it for him. We didn't find it, but Patrick gave him all of his fossils he spent all day finding. It wasn't a drop in the bucket either, I'm talking pieces I've never held in my hand before. I mean, come on, we couldn't ask for a more considerate and attentive guide who actually felt more like a friend from the start. Thank you Patrick for everything! read more

My family went out fossil hunting with Patrick this morning. He is super friendly and very helpful. He supplied us with all of the shovels and screens and gear we'd need as well as snacks and drinks. Patrick also helped my two children learn what fossils were which and how to determine what they are. My whole family enjoyed the trip completely and have a lot of fossils and shark teeth to remember this by. HIGHLY recommended! read more

Patrick was absolutely amazing and friendly. Had a great time at the river, and found some awesome fossils and teeth. Thank you!

Amazing day!!! Will definitely go again!! Patrick is a fun-natured host with vast knowledge. Great with kids! He provides all the supplies and even snacks/water. We walked up-steam in calf deep water for about 15 minutes. Then arrived at our digging spot. Within 5 minutes of instruction we started collecting shark teeth and fossils! You work at your own pace and have a fun day outside! Can't wait to go again! read more

5/5/21 Pat was great we had a group of 13 (8 teens or children) and he was absolutely amazing with each of them. Extremely knowledgeable and quick to share any and all information with you. He gave many of his finds to the younger kids or helped them dig. I'd do it again in a heartbeat was an experience the whole family won't soon be forgetting! Thanks for the wonderful day! read more

SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! This is such an awesome outdoor bonding experience for your family! We took our 15yr old son and 11yr old daughter and they LOVED it. Patrick is such a great guy, amazing with kids, passionate, knowledgeable, and SO much fun! It was so amazing how many sharks teeth we found in each sift. Patrick answered all our questions and helped the kids with their dig sites. His excitement and passion is so infectious. He WANTS you to find those teeth! The only problem is that you will not want to leave! We are already talking about another trip with Patrick! You will not be disappointed. It is such a stress free adventure. Time flies when you are out there. I can not recommend him enough. read more

See all

Went out with Patrick and had a blast!! Me and my dad wanted to take a break from the stresses of flipping a house and decided to spend a day out on the peace river hunting for fossils and shark teeth. We found more teeth than we could count!! Couldn't have asked for a better experience with a more knowledgable and passionate person than Patrick. He loves what he does and it is easy to tell by his enthusiasm for talking about the fossils as well as explaining the history of the peace river and the animals that can be found on an adventure like this. Wouldn't go out and do this with anyone else, you will not be disappointed. If you're anywhere in the area weather it be Orlando Sarasota or St Pete/Tampa go out and have a great time. All ages would enjoy. read more
