This was a fantastic excursion for our family, well worth the money! The crew welcomed us to their project and enthusiastically invited us to participate in their research. We saw 18 dolpins and enjoyed some time collecting shells on the beach. We would highly recommend this as a great family activity! |

My sister and I were with my two sons who are 12 and 8 and everyone had a good time. The boat was clean and the guides were wonderful. Very informative and a good way to spend 3 hours! |

My family had a great time on this tour. Our captain and tour guide were very friendly and very knowledgeable about the dolphins and other animals that live in the Marco Island area. The tour may be a little long for younger children....I have 5 year old twins who did pretty well but were ready for it to be over at about the last 30-40 minutes. However, they do give the children a pamphlet and a pen so they can keep track of how many dolphins they see and pictures of other birds and animals to look for on the cruise which I thought was a great way to help keep the kids engaged. Part of the tour includes stopping at an island. It is very buggy but they were prepared and provided us with bug spray. At the island you have time to swim, have a snack, and look for shells. They do provide complimentary beverages, but you should also bring some snacks...especially if you are bringing children with you. They take a picture of your family and they print it out and give it to you before you return to the marina. They also gave us a picture of a dolphin and some birds. Again, very nice touches to this tour. I would definitely recommend. |

We had 3 adults and 2 children (4 & 6) on this excursion. My 6 yr old daughter absolutely loved this adventure, as did I. We saw many dolphins, pelicans, a few osprey and other native birds. The captain and his one-man crew (I'm sorry I can't remember their names right now) were very knowledgeable and clearly felt deeply about their research. They made it a relaxing, yet informative, trip for all of us. The children were given their own "research guide" to mark off dolphins as they saw them and complete various other activities. We got some great pictures of the dolphins jumping in the wake of our boat, not to mention the numerous pictures that were GIVEN to us before we disembarked. I've been to Marco Island a half-dozen times before and am so glad we ran across this tour. I recommend it for children and adults alike! |

It was a great trip, very informative and educational. We saw 22 Dolphins so close, it was amazing! My kids were so excited to see them and try to find out which dolphin it was. Would recommend it to everyone. A definite MUST DO !! |

The weather throughout the week had us worried that we would not be able to go on the tour, but it cleared and turned beautiful for our day. We saw 18 dolphin. There were 3 different sets of mothers with calves and one set was new so we got to name them. Not sure if it is posted yet but look for the name Pika when you go.
Overall we had an incredibly good time and I would reccomend this tour to anyone. We will certianly go back again when we visit Naples again next year. The crew was awesome and the boat was clean. They did not rush you and offered many opportunities for pictures of the dolphin. They even gave us some pictures that they took of us and the dolphin.
Go on this tour, you won't be sorry. |

This was an interesting, well-done, well thought-out tour. Guests were encouraged to participate in identifying each of the 11 or 12 dolphins we saw by using their fin markings. We learned about the mangrove forest and bird rookeries, and visited an island beach to swim and collect shells. Children were given their own special activities. We even received complimentary photos of the trip as we left the boat. All-in-all, a very satisfying experience. |

The staff was extremely nice and knew their dolphins! It was a great tour! The dolphins were adorable..we saw several moms and babies, "teen males" were playing together, and siblings were playing together. When we drove off, the dolphins followed us and jumped in our waves! It was so cute and educational for our 6-yr-old daughter.
The only part I didn't care for was the stop on the island for shelling....we were severely attacked by mosquitoes, so bring plenty of bug spray! Other than that, it was great--and we took great photos and videos. |

We had an absolute blast on the Eco-Tour! It was a great way for my husband and I to spend our anniversary while entertaining our 11 year old son at the same time. We all had so much fun! Can't think of a better way to spend our anniversary! We will definitely do it again the next time we are in the area! I have already recommended it to several of our friends and family. Thank you all for the wonderful experience!
