    Two and a half hours on a private boat — watch dolphins and explore a barrier island while shelling.

    Glen was an outstanding guide who ensured we spotted plenty of dolphins and manatees. Seeing the dolphins jumping in our boat's wake was remarkable, and the mangroves were absolutely stunning. Glen provided a wealth of information and made the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.O5223GZangieh

    3. Dolphin watching and shelling cruise to Keewaydin Island

    4.8· 353 reviews· 3 hours

    Three-hour eco cruise from Naples to Keewaydin Island with wildlife sightings and a beach visit for shelling.

    The tour matched the description perfectly. We enjoyed a 75-minute boat ride to the island, spent an hour there, and then a 45-minute return trip. The boat was comfortable and included a small bathroom. The captain and crew were knowledgeable and attentive. The island was beautiful and peaceful, with few people on the beach. The water was calm, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins, as the captain kindly stopped for everyone to take a look.cindycM6065YA
