Fun times - We went on this tour with 8 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of room for everyone. Lots of fun for everyone. We saw dolphins and a hammerhead shark. We also found beautiful shells and sand dollars and held them in the shelling bags provided. The captain, Marco, and guide, Katie, were very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife that live here. They ensured that both adults and kids in our group had a great time!

Lessons on how we must respect and embrace nature! - This was a very informative excursion regrading life and preservation of the 10,000 Islands. Elliot was our guide, having grown up on Marco Island he made it a fascinating trip (ask him about pythons) Our Capt. Christina, knew the waterways and navigated beautifully to give us a fun and safe ride. Our family loved watching and learning new things about the dolphins and their pods. We recommend this awesome crew and this excursion that makes you truly appreciate Marco Island and its history.
