We are coming back so we can see a manatee. We had such a great time seeing dolphins. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, full of energy. We have recommended this tour to our relatives who live in Naples. The price was very reasonable. Loved the entire 3 hours. So did my sister. Thanks. |

We certainly had no shortage of Dolphin sightings...this trip was very good for that. When I read the description of the trip, I did however feel that I was going to learn a great deal more than I did about Dolphins. The boat has no PA system, therefore hearing the information is diufficult. Having a baby, we were put at the back of the boat, which is fine, but then the guide had to come back and repeat himself...a 3 minute lesson up front turned into a 1 minute lesson when repeated. By positioning the trip as us being involved in an ongoing marine study, I just assumed that there would be more information pertaining to the Dolphin, the habitat etc...Providing guests with print outs of the pictures taken is a GREAT touch, and left us with a few additional memories above and beyond our pictures. We were happy to see that the tour did not try and charge for the pictures, shell bags etc...Overall we did enjoy the trip, it was just different than the description. |

Informative and relaxing. The naturalist, Kent, was very nice and made sure to get the children on board engaged. Loved the "mug shots" of the identified dolphins' dorsal fins. Highly recommended. |

Other than not getting one of those great "dolphin jumping in the air" photos we had hoped for , we and our visiting friends really enjoyed the entire day. Perfect weather, VERY friendly and information crew. Especially enjoyed our time on nearly deserted Keywadin Island, looked almost like the Caribbean...can't believe we've been living here 10 years and have not done this trip! |

This was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with my grandchildren! They loved the trip, learned so much and made memories that will last a lifetime. I have always loved dolphins and to be able to see so many and learn so much about them was just wonderful. The crew on the boat were terrific! They treated the kids so nicely and made the trip a great experience. I will definitely be returning to do this trip again!! I highly recommend this activity for young and old alike!! |

The Dolphin Study Eco-Tour and Cruise was one of the highlights of our vacation. If your family enjoys the outdoors and learning about nature, then I would say this a must. |

The Dolphin Explorer was informative, relaxing and fun. It is great for all ages. It was especially exciting to watch one of the marine biologist conduct a broadcast to group of kids in a school in Pittsburgh. While learning about the dolphins they increast their reading skills! |

The Eco-Tour was a gratifying experience that people will always find both interesting and very educational for the young and old alike. Captain Chris' experience at the helm and the knowedge of James the marine biologist and his assistant were nothing short of a qualified, considerate, top rated team. If you, or anyone has ever wondered in awe as you see the graceful dolfin emerge from the sea in and about the waters of Marco Island, then you must take this very reasonably priced tour package to learn the what, why's and how's of the intelligent dolfin as they exist in their salt water world.

It was a wonderful site to see so many dolphin up close. I also enjoyed the many bird nests and especially the one that we could actually hear the babies. The three crew members were very helpful in explaining all we were seeing. It was worth the money and I will take this boat ride again when I an in the area. Thanks to all for a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful boat ride. |

We've done dolphin watching in several countries but this was the best on many counts. We saw moore dolphin more easily. The whole kid explorer thing was really motivating for my 5 year old and she was really interested in the engaging and interactive. We all learn a bit about dolphins. Paired with a magical trip to keywardin, it wasa truly excellent trip. It was a pontoon boat, so good accessibility for strollers and the elderly, pretty flat ( almost the whole way is limited to 20 mph foe manatee.) I would go again in a heart beat |

My family and I had a great experience on the tour. The marine biologist (wish I could remember his name) made the trip so enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and engaging with everyone and made the trip worth every penny.
I highly recommend this tour! |
