Cruise the Ten Thousand Islands on a private Marco Island wildlife tour, with chances to spot dolphins and explore a secluded island.

About this tour

Set out from Marco Island for a private cruise through the wildlife-rich Ten Thousand Islands, where dolphins may surface beside the boat and coastal birds skim the water. This 2-hour Marco Island dolphin and eco cruise pairs close-up nature watching with time to explore a secluded barrier island.

Your local captain guides the journey through Southwest Florida’s coastal waterways, where you may spot dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, sharks, and native birds in their natural habitat. The cruise also includes a stop for beach time and shelling, giving you a chance to wander the sand and look for distinctive shells. With space for up to 6 guests, the private outing offers a personal way to enjoy the scenery with family or friends. A life jacket is provided; bring your own drinks and snacks if you wish.

Depart from Goodland Boat Park and arrive early to allow time for paid parking and restrooms. Book your Marco Island dolphin and eco cruise for a relaxed day on the water and a closer look at the Ten Thousand Islands.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 38 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Naples
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 25% in Naples means it ranks in the top 25% of tours in Naples by this score.
