Perfect day on the water

Published on Feb, 2025

Our family really enjoyed our 4-hour eco tour. The scenery is beautiful, and we’ve never seen so many dolphins and shells in one area. Captain Marco was great! He grew up on Marco Island and is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the Ten Thousand Islands. He customized our tour to our interests and was very accommodating. We highly recommend this tour and Captain Marco! We’ve been on many boat tours, and this was one of the best.

Best Marco Island wildlife and shelling tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We really enjoyed our boat tour of wildlife and shelling with Marco. He was very entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of Marco Island. He knew where to find the best shells and found dolphins and other wildlife for us to view. We highly recommend touring with Marco.

Multifaceted tour and good seashells

Published on Jan, 2025

Great trip! Saw some dolphins, including a calf that was about 3 months old. Also went around many mangroves, including ones that had been toppled by recent hurricanes and went past some seaside developments on Marco Island. Shelling was very nice, and the localized, thin layer of fog added a fun dimension. Only downside is that parking your car in the area can be tricky- not a lot of space. Guide was knowledgeable and kind. Definitely a worthwhile adventure! :)

Captain Jessica was amazing! To have a marine biologist for a captain exceptional! So friendly and knowledgeable, seeing the dolphins in the boat wake, and learning about wild life and shelling made for a perfect trip.
