Marco Island Dolphin Tour 2 hr

Set out from Marco Island for a close-up look at the dolphins and wildlife of the Ten Thousand Islands. This 2-hour Marco Island Dolphin Tour follows calm coastal waters where bottlenose dolphins leap and play in their natural habitat.

As you cruise, watch for manatees, sea turtles, ospreys, herons, and bald eagles. An experienced captain shares insights into dolphin behavior, conservation, and the area's distinctive ecosystem, adding context to the scenery and wildlife along the way. The relaxed small-group setting offers room to take in the views and enjoy the search for wildlife with family or fellow nature lovers.

Tours depart daily at 8:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. from 220 Goodland Dr. Free parking is across the street from Stan's Idle Hour Restaurant, in the gravel lot behind the white fence; find the boats at the private dock behind the banner and flags. A cooler with ice and parking fees are included. Bring your own food and drinks, but please leave red wine behind. Book your Marco Island Dolphin Tour and spend two hours exploring these wildlife-rich waters.
