A ninety-minute sunset cruise departing from Fort Myers Beach, this trip sets off an hour before sunset and returns at dusk for a perfect view of the changing sky. The waters of Estero Bay are known for playful dolphins and, with luck, you may also glimpse manatees.
This cruise caters to nature enthusiasts, with a wealth of bird species often visible during the journey. Guests are encouraged to bring their preferred drinks to enjoy while relaxing on board. The operator, Cristina, a local and former biologist, provides insight into the local ecology and wildlife.

This was an outstanding experience. Our boat captain, Ty, and the naturalist, Ashley, possessed deep knowledge about wildlife and marine mammals. We encountered manatees and witnessed dolphins jumping and playing in the wake of the boat.
Upon arrival, we noticed rain in the distance, and another group mentioned seeing lightning. The tour guide took his time to make a decision and ultimately asked for our input. As a group, we opted to cancel the cruise. Perhaps we will attempt the tour again next year.
An exhilarating experience from start to finish. We were thrilled to see 5-8 dolphins chase our wake, leaping high out of the water. We discovered many seldom-seen waterfowl, and the sunset over the Gulf was breathtaking. On our way back, we even spotted a baby shark. Captain Ty and Ashley enriched our trip with plenty of insights and made it truly enjoyable.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset dolphin cruise last night. The sunset views were stunning. Josh and Savannah were both informative and made the experience enjoyable. We will certainly come back and will recommend this cruise to friends and family.
Captain Trey and the naturalist were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and prioritized our safety and comfort. The naturalist shared valuable information about the plants and animals we saw. Both kids and adults were thrilled when we spotted a dolphin, and the captain adjusted the boat's speed to create a wake for it to play in. Despite a rainy day, we all captured beautiful sunset photos. When lightning appeared in the distance, the captain ensured a safe return to shore. The crew truly deserved the tips we gave them. Bring a light jacket.
The tour was not overcrowded, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Having done two other dolphin tours, this one was the best by far. The dolphins were lively and put on an impressive display. The team was patient, ensuring everyone had a fantastic experience.
We had a fantastic experience on the sunset cruise with our family. We spotted numerous dolphins and manatees, and the guides were exceptional, sharing extensive knowledge about the stunning surroundings. I only wish my college-aged son and daughter could have joined us, but it was truly memorable. We will certainly book this again when we return.
We participated in the sunset tour. The driver and guide were both friendly and well-informed. We strongly recommend this tour and will certainly rebook it when we return to the area.
Ty and Ashley were fantastic guides during the tour. Their extensive knowledge contributed greatly to our positive experience. I attended with friends, and we had a wonderful time. Seeing dolphins is a remarkable opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
I strongly suggest taking the sunset cruise if you're in Fort Myers. We were fortunate to see several dolphins leaping from the water. It was a unique experience at a great price. The guides were very informative, making it an enjoyable and laid-back outing that I will always remember.
