My wife and I arrived for... - My wife and I arrived for our boat tour with our baby. We didn’t realize we needed a ticket for our baby so we were unable to go out as the boat was full. Although we were disappointed Florida Island Tours tried their best to meet our needs but we just couldn’t get out. The best part is that they genuinely cared about our vacation and family experience. We will definitely be back to see them the next time we’re in town.

Great time on the water - The whole experience was wonderful. The knowledge of Captain Thomas was outstanding. We saw dolphins and a bonus of a manatee. We saw beautiful houses, islands and being on the water is always so relaxing. I would highly recommend this tour.

Variety of information - On our trip, we saw dolphins & a manatee in March. Captain Thomas was a plethora of all kinds of info, but knows the seas.

Captain Nate was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of the area was invaluable. He shared much information. - Captain Nate was an excellent tour guide who provided much insight and information about the area. The only negative was parking at the boat dock. We had to park at a nearby restaurant. A county employee informed us that the lot at the dock was full. There were open spots he was saving for others. The two hour cruise was pleasant. Although the temperature was mild, jackets would have been more comfortable out on the water.
