We absolutely loved our dolphin excursion. We have 3 children 6, 9, and 11 and we all loved it! Very educational, fun and definitely worth the money. We initially thought too expensive but definitely worth it. Staff was knowledgeable and great answering questions etc.

Excellent guide and captain. I learned a lot in a fun and engaged way. We learned about and spotted dolphins, egrets, and osprey. The guide was informative and had books for each of us. Both the captain and guide answered all questions asked and were able to accommodate requests from the kids on board.

Family enjoyed seeing birds, dolphins, fish and shells. This was such fun for the young (18months) to 70yrs young. Do this every year with our grandchildren. We all look forward to the fun and the wonderful speakers on the boat.

We have been coming to Marco for 8 years and always wanted to take this trip. It was a great morning and we saw a lot of Dolphins up close and personal, including 3 babies swimming together. The guide was very knowledgeable and he was great with the children on board. We loved the pictures he took and especially loved the ones he gave us at the end of the trip. Would definitly do it again with our grandchildren next time.

Excellent outing

We recently went on the dolphin eco-tour with our family (2 kids - 12 & 10), along with grandparents, and can't say enough good things about it. The onboard naturalist and captain were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, explaining and teaching the entire time. The number of dolphins we saw and learned about was well beyond our expectations. The entire tour was run in an incredibly professional fashion, and unlike many "touristy" things, there was no attempt to get extra money from people by selling "extras" or requiring payment for anything outside of the cost of the tour. Simply put, I can't recommend this tour enough.

Very well worth the money

We are from the midwest and went to Marco Island over Xmas 2011 for 8 days. We signed up for this tour and an airboat tour in the everglades. Both were great. However the family on return home talked about this tour as being the best we've ever done on all our vacations anywhere (NYC Manhattan tour, Chicago river tour, Riverbout tour in New Orleans). It's a 3 hour tour (no Gilligan Island jokes, please!) so it is a long ride...and you see many good sites, including the ABC's (mangrove islands). The crew take pics (dophins, birds, turtles and butterfliers) and print them off and just...wait for it....gave them to us....for FREE. My kid got a pic of a sea turtle that was awesome. We got a family pic on the beach that was just handed to us! No nickle and diming for a couple of photos (I'm so tired of "here is a nice family photo...got 20 bucks for it?"). Also, a good history lesson on the earliest Indian tribes was also offered. Oh,and did I say.....WE SAW DOLPHINS! The captain knew all the tricks of the trade. You also get a great 45 min break on a beach that offers a great panorama of the gulf. I strongly recommend this trip. The captain got the dophins swimming into the engine surf and they were awesome. Sit in the back of the boat and you will enjoy everything you see. Highly recommended by me, my wife and two teen boys.

Better than expected - lots of dolphins, shells

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.

James is great!!!

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.

Great educational tour

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.

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!
