The captain and the naturalist were both very informative and did everything possible to get us up close and personal with the dolphins and manatee. The naturalist, James, was very helpful in pointing out the different wildlife and explaining about the mangrove islands.
I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the Marco Island/Naples area. |

My only suggestion would be that a microphone be provided for the Naturalist and the captain to be able to share information with and answer any questions from the entire population of the boat.
I found that the Naturalist either positioned himself forward or aft and was only able to be heard by the people sitting in close proximity to where he was standing. It was a bit frustrating not to be able to hear all that was said.
Other than that, I enjoyed the experience. |

I would recommend the dolphin tour to anyone. Everyone in my group had a great time. We loved seeing and identifying the dolphins and searching for shells. The staff were all friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. |

This trip was a 60th birthday present for a friend and she loved it. It was fun and educational.We saw many dolphins who were very intent on impressing us with their "moves." The captains dog Riley accompanied us and just loves the dolphins. It was really fun to watch the dog and dolphins communicate. The naturalist was very informative both scientifically and historicaly. We had a good group on the boat and it really was a fun day! |

Our friends had raved about this trip. On their recommendation we arranged a tour with four of our friends. Everyone thought it was terrific. One slight suggestion might be that parents of very young children should reconsider taking the childewn on the tour. Those two and over do fine but younger ones easily become distraught. Their distress causes anxious parents and uncomfortable tour participants. |

What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The Dolphine study eco tour was a very informative, educational, and truely wonderful experience. The tour guide is a marine biologist who anwsered any questions about mariane life and surronding eco systems. We say about 25 different Dolphine, plus other local aniamls. Highly recommend for children of all ages |

A very enjoyable trip. Saw lots of dolphins, had great weather, and the crew and staff were all friendly and worked hard to be sure we had a good time. Time on beach (45 min) was probably short for the kids in the group but was just right for us oldsters. |

Its a wonderful experience, saw many dolphins and other wildlife, and the guide was very knowledgeable. Saw a mother and her calf, that was a highlight, as was the dolphins jumping in the wake of the boat. Everyone got pictures of some of what we saw. |

I liked that we stopped when the Captain and crew saw something interesting "dolphins" or other !and that it did not feel like it was a routine trip for them. We saw, we stopped and took pictures!
Liked the beach stop too,enough time to go in if we wanted. The eco crew memeber was very interesting!
Great fun trip and Thanks for the souvenir pictures! |

First of all-Great staff! We are here from Ky on a couples trip. We saw advertisement at Charter Club and won 1 free pass. We decided it looked great but man did you guys blow that away. Lots of dolphins but they actually took us over to look closer!! Up close and what great information about the area and wildlife. Then to Keewaydin Island. Breathtaking views and best shelling anywhere. We had plenty of time to look around and they took a photo of us to take home. So worth the money and if your taking kids they have awesome program for them too. At end they get a very nice patch to sew on. Don't question this one. It was great! |
