Sea Excursions, Inc.

We enjoyed our trip and would recommend this trip to others. The guides really seemed enthusiastic and eager to answer questions. The fact that we got to take a boat ride, see dolphins, crabs in a trap, osprey, and visit a gorgeous beach made this trip a that we considered a value.

This tour was amazing! The tour guide (James) was a wealth of knowledge, not just about dolphins but about all of the other wild life in the area. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and the operators!

We went on this tour 5 years ago and had a great time: lots of dolphins. Only saw 2 this time, but we stayed with them a long time and they demonstrated a lot of varied behaviors. Dolphin sightings are out of the control of the crew, but what is in their control is the quality of the experience; and for that we give them top marks. Since our last visit, they've added new Naturalist and archaeological presentations to the cruise, which we found interesting and well presented. The crew are as friendly as can be, including the adorable labradoodle! The beach break is refreshing and idyllic, with shell collecting to rival Sanibel. You'll likely see dolphins and help identify them. You'll see osprey nests and assorted waterfowl. In season you may see manatees. You'll enjoy a lovely time on the water with a knowledgeable and friendly crew. Bring a cooler with some of your own snacks, and maybe drinks: their drink selection is mostly water. Do I have to say bring your camera? Highly recommended. We'll be back again on a future visit. P.S. The Snook Inn, just down the road from the marina for beach shack drinks and a hokey atmosphere afterwards is a fun topper to your day.

Outstanding naturalist/leader! Very educational.

There are several things I look for when planning an excursion as a tourist-fun, educational, stimulating and variety.. This tour had it all. Plus they do a wonderful service by researching and helping the dolphin population of southwest Florida. The time allowed was perfect. The break at Keewadin to go shelling was at just the right time and the right length of time. The capt of the boat gave us ample opportunities to see the dolphins up close and while the boat was at rest. The marine biologist gave us context which the typical tour does not have. This is a must see, and I would go again.

Could not have had a better experience with our family. Great combination of education and fun for all. Captain Dave and Naturalist Kent were awesome. I have already recommended it to friends

Very knowledgeable captain and naturalist. Learned a lot and enjoyed seeing many dolphins actively breaking water. Good photo ops.

Thought this might be a little corny but they pulled it off very well. Good trip for adults with kids or just adults, with lots of good memories to take home. My 4 year old took his job to mark down each dolphin spotted so seriously he missed some of the action but did it did not matter to him. He was very proud of the fact that they were relying on him to keep track of the dolphins, it made him feel very important. Everyone was very pleasant and attentive to all of the passengers. I learned some things and enjoyed all that I saw and did on this trip. If you are only going to do one or two tours or activities in the Naples area make this one of them.

reading other reviews we thought we would see 10+ dolphins, however we saw 3...yes, they swam in wake, yes we got some good pics, yes we went shelling on the beach, but also not prime time as in afternoon....overall, a bit of a disappointment and I did not think worth the price.($250 for family of 5)..I would suggest they have a sliding scale refund based on number of close up encounters with these dolpins

This was a great experience, led by great staff. Friendly, knowledgeable and they show a great passion for what they do.

The crew was so knowlaedgeable and this was a fabulous trip! We saw 16 documented dolphins including male bond pairs and females with calves. The beach stop was the best shelling I have ever done. It would have been nice to stay there a little longer! I would HIGHLY recommend htis trip for all ages!

Three generations of my family went on the dolphin study eco-tour and cruise. Everyonr had a great time and the guide was very knowledgable.

This was our second time with this tour, we went two years ago, and my children liked it so much (9 and 12), they asked to go again. We saw lots of dolphins, both times, and the guides make every effort to to make the tour fun and educational. We especially like the way they take and print pictures of the dolphin fins and ask our kids to identify the dolphins from a book of photographs they keep. A worthwhile tour for kids interested in nature, and marine life.

We went on this adventure based on the reviews, and the reviews were spot on!! We recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. James is the best and most knowledgeable guide around. Anyone who comes to Marco should go at least once!! Keep up the good work and good luck in finding the injured dolphins.

Immediately saw lots of dolphins, up close to the boat, and even "racing" the boat in the wake as it sped away (suggestion: sit in back!). Learned about the islands, history, birds, and other animals. The crew seemed genuinely interested, not just going through the motions. Found lots of shells on the beautiful beach. Free pictures to take home. Very enjoyable, and we are recommending it to others for sure.
