Incredible - Do yourself a favor and book this excursion if you are visiting Marco Island. Our family of five loved it! Both captains were so nice and Marco is so knowledgeable about the wildlife and 10,000 islands in general. They work so hard to make it a custom memorable experience.

This is much more than just a dolphin-watching tour—it’s a fascinating and relaxing way to spend a morning. - Captain Jessica and Captain Marco were terrific guides for our two-hour adventure. Early in the trip we were treated to the sight of many dolphins playing alongside the boat, which was an incredible way to start the tour. Both Jessica and Marco were extremely knowledgeable, and we learned a great deal about the sea life, birds, and the history of the estuary around Marco Island. We also stopped at a quiet, secluded island beach where we enjoyed a relaxing walk and found some beautiful shells. They took the time to show us different types of shells, explaining which sea creatures lived in them and how they grow from tiny specks into the larger shells we see on the beach. This is much more than just a dolphin-watching tour—it’s a fascinating and relaxing way to spend a morning.

Excellent dolphin and shelling tour with Marco. - Excellent! Tour guide, Marco, was great. He shared facts about dolphins with us. He found dolphins for us to watch while they were feeding and swimming around. We even had a mama and baby swim along side our boat. While shelling, he found various shells and told us what they were and information about them. Marco was a great guide. He really seemed to enjoy what he was doing, which made the trip really enjoyable for us. We would do it again!
