Cruise the Everglades’ 10,000 Islands, watch for wild dolphins and birds, and explore a remote island with a naturalist guide.

About this tour

Explore the wild waterways and remote islands of South Florida on a Naples 10,000 Islands Boat Tour and Naturalist Walk. This 5-hour, 30-minute outing pairs a boat ride through the Everglades’ saltwater estuary with time ashore to discover an island landscape and its history.

With an experienced biologist or naturalist guide, watch for dolphins, manatees, sharks, and sawfish in their natural habitat. The region is also a birding hotspot, with roseate spoonbills and white pelicans among the species you may spot. On a remote island, hear stories of the Old Everglades and visit a historic trading post. The experience connects the coastal estuary with the freshwater swamps of Big Cypress, bringing wildlife, ecology, and local history together. Snacks and water are provided, and refillable water is available throughout the tour.

Meet at the Walmart at 6650 Collier Blvd in Naples. Bring a reusable bottle, then set out to experience the Everglades beyond the usual viewpoints on this Naples 10,000 Islands Boat Tour and Naturalist Walk.

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 7.8. Top 33% in Naples means it ranks in the top 33% of tours in Naples by this score.
