Explore the shallow waters of the 10,000 Islands on a private Marco Island shelling and dolphin ecotour with up to six passengers.

About this tour

Set out from Goodland for a three-hour Marco Island shelling and dolphin ecotour through the shallow waters of the 10,000 Islands. A specially designed boat can navigate these coastal shallows, bringing you to shelling locations and waters where dolphins may be nearby. With a maximum of six passengers per boat, the trip offers a more personal way to explore; larger groups can arrange multiple boats. Your tour begins at San Marco Marina, where free parking is available. Bottled water is included, and a live English-speaking guide accompanies the experience. Marco Island shelling and dolphin ecotour guests should meet at 604 E Palm Ave in Goodland; continue around the bend on Goodland Drive and turn left onto E Palm Ave. The marina is the last left on Goodland Drive, before Goodland Boat Park. Infants must sit on an adult’s lap, and service animals are allowed. Book your Marco Island shelling and dolphin ecotour for a close-up look at the area’s coastal scenery and a chance to spot its dolphins.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 108 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 8.2. Top 23% in Naples means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Naples by this score.
