Fabulous Fun! - What a great trip. 6 of us on the boat which made it very personal. Captain Thomas was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and the wildlife of Marco Island. We were lucky enough to see both Sting Rays and Dolphins and many different species of birds and overall I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Southwest Florida

Great 2 hour tour of Marco Island with a bunch of dolphins keeping us company - This was the best 2 hours we spent this week. The dolphins followed us everywhere and were really showing off for us. I think they like Captain Nate, who gave us a great tour. He told us the history of Marco Island and showed us some really cool spots. Well worth the price!

Great day for dolphins - Had a great day with Captain Nate Lapierre who was a wealth of knowledge. We saw a lot of wildlife, a manatee and a school of dolphins. We had the dolphins jumping out of the water as they chased our boat when we sped up! Learned a lot about the island. Well worth it!
