Fantastic experience!

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this excursion.. Captain Elliott was incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem and the dolphins. You could truly feel his passion and respect for the environment. What amazed us most was how the dolphins seemed to recognize him -- several times they swam right up and glided effortlessly in the boat's wake. It was such a special sight to see. The boat ride itself was extremely comfortable, and the captain was very considerate on the water. He carefully navigated around the wakes of other boats and always slowed down when needed, which made the experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a memorable and thoughtful wildlife experience.
Disorganized, Uncomfortable Tour - But Excellent Dolphin Viewing

3.00During our Naples stay, we booked a Marco Island boat excursion and were rewarded with a beautiful day on the water and outstanding dolphin sightings. The captain was skilled, safety-focused, and informative, while the guide was pleasant but occasionally uncertain in her commentary. Logistics detracted from an otherwise enjoyable outing: parking is extremely limited, boarding instructions were unclear, and our group initially gathered where other tours met, only to be retrieved later and depart behind schedule. The boat, though safe, felt overcrowded, making viewing difficult and comfort limited. A cooler previously confirmed on board was not provided. At higher speeds, February winds made conditions surprisingly chilly. Overall, the wildlife viewing and scenery make the trip worthwhile, but improved organization and passenger comfort would elevate the experience.
Dolphins doing tricks in the wild!

5.00We started seeing dolphins just after leaving the dock. We has a captain and a naturalist with us and they did a great job of telling us about the dolphins, the islands, and the Rockery Bay eco-system. Very interesting. The highlight was having dolphins surf and do flips right behind us. Amazing!!!
Book it! One of the best experiences we have had!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! Huge shout out to Kathleen who was so kind and even offered to pick us up due to an unexpected road closure that caused us to be late for the tour. She went above and beyond to help us- if every business had a Kathleen they would soar to success! And no words good enough to describe Elliott our boat captain and Sophie our guide. Elliott was incredible- he was an amazing navigator, knew where to find the dolphins and how to engage them - we saw so many and they were so playful! Exceeded expectations! And Sophie was such a knowledgeable guide- she shared such interesting information about the dolphins and other wildlife as well as the ecosystem and history of Marco and its’ islands. Awesome adventure- highly recommend!
Nice Excursion

5.00We had a great trip with Capt Brian and Capt Elliott. Capt Elliott provided lots of great information about the dolphins and the area. It was easy to ask questions and they ensured everyone was comfortable. Lots of opportunities to take pictures even if the dolphin didn't always stay on top of the water long enough. Fun trip and worth the price and time.
Most amazing experience of my life!

5.00I came down to Marco Island for a friend’s bday weekend with no real plan in mind. We stumbled upon this tour, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been on “dolphin tours” before with not a dolphin in sight. Captain Colleen knew just where to go to find them and clearly has a special bond with some of the dolphin pods. I have never experienced anything like this tour and I can’t wait to come back with my family one day!

5.00Wonderful experience, our Capt Marco was fabulous. Very knowledgeable in the area and all the wildlife and nature. Saw several dolphins and they surfed in our wake very cool. Great way to learn about the area.
Great experience!

5.00We had so much fun, it was just our family of 5 with 3 children. Captin Marco made sure we saw the dolphins multiple times, and an island that was secluded for shelling. Captin Marco is super involved and knowledgeable about all the wildlife. We will be doing it again when we come back!

5.00Superb tour with Captain Colleen and her assistant Brian. We have done many dolphin tours before but never with this level of information or enjoyment. Colleen knows every dolphin in the bay and they will come close to the boat and jump in the wake. Highly recommended tour.
Amazing dolphin tour

4.00Colleen was our captain and she was amazing at finding the dolphins and educating us all about them! Because it was cold and we did the morning tour we were the only ones on the boat. She offered to take us to look for shells but we were having too much fun watching all the dolphins and learning about them. We have done dolphin tours elsewhere in the past and this was by far the best one between seeing the dolphins and hearing Colleen's knowledge of them.
