About this tour

Follow the winding waterways of Naples into a landscape of mangroves, estuaries, and abundant Florida wildlife on this three-hour dolphin watch and shelling cruise to Keewaydin Island. Keep your camera ready as the captain guides you through the Gordon River, where dolphins, birds, and possibly alligators and manatees may appear along the way.

An experienced Pure Florida captain shares historical and ecological commentary during the cruise. Once you reach Keewaydin Island, enjoy time to take a nature walk, search the shore for shells with your provided shelling bag, or simply unwind on the beach. Bottled water and free parking are included, while snacks and gratuities are not.

The island’s uneven surfaces and boat disembarkation may be challenging for guests with walking disabilities or wheelchair users. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and service animals are not permitted onboard.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.80 on Viator and 4.58 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

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 7.0.
