Marco Island Sightseeing Boat Tour 2 hr

Trade the usual dolphin-and-shelling cruise for a two-hour journey through the Ten Thousand Islands. This Marco Island sightseeing boat tour departs from Goodland and travels through the mangrove-lined estuary of the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge toward Marco Island before returning.

Along the way, a knowledgeable guide shares stories and answers questions about the area. Guides are Florida-certified master naturalists and members of the Marco Island Historical Society. Depending on the conversation and route, topics may include Marco Island's development, nearby beaches and waterfront dining, Isles of Capri, Horr's Island, Goodland, the Calusa Indians, local wildlife, and the Cape Romano Dome House. You may also hear tales of hermits, pirates, and saltwater cowboys, alongside insights into boating and fishing in Southwest Florida.

The tour includes a cooler with ice and parking fees. Bring your own food and drinks if you like; red wine is not permitted. Meet at the Private Dock behind the tour banner and flags in Goodland, with free parking across the street from Stan's Idle Hour Restaurant. Set out on a Marco Island sightseeing boat tour for a lively look at the islands, their history, and their wild coastal habitat.
