Dolphin Adventure in The 10,000 Islands Wilderness Preserve

Dolphin Adventure in The 10,000 Islands Wilderness Preserve

Overview

We at Dolphin Research Tours have reinvented the ecotour.

We provide real expertise.
We have been studying the dolphin communities in southwest Florida for 16 years. No other tour can provide as thorough an understanding of the local dolphins.

We respect the wildlife.
Coastal dolphins are under increasing pressure from human interaction. On a Dolphin Research Tour, you are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

We engage kids.
Kids are not just along for the ride. We've developed a fun 'citizen-science' activity for children that lets them be a scientist for the day.

We give back.
During each trip we collect sighting data for The Dolphin Study, a non profit working to protect Marco Island's dolphins.

Learning about dolphin interactions with each other, viewing dolphins in their natural habitat, seeing a couple of roseate spoonbill birds and enjoying a comfortable, clean pontoon boat tour with Kent and Robyn (Owners) made for a wonderful experience on the beautiful waters of Marco Island. I highly recommend this tour, as Kent and Robyn are true naturalists who don't disturb gulf wildlife, yet get close enough to it to fulfill the experience. Both are knowledgeable, respectful and careful of you, the gulf and wildlife. It was fun to anchor the boat and walk a sand bar with the most beautiful shells. Highly recommend this tour!

Kent and Robyn gave us a wonderful tour of the 10,000 Islands! We saw lots of dolphins and many beautiful birds. Kent gave us an excellent introduction to dolphins and their habitat. He is quite a dolphin enthusiast and loves sharing his passion and years of accumulated knowledge with others. Robyn is great at navigation. It was a very calming, relaxing and education tour. My 6 year old daughter loved every minute of it and enjoyed looking through the booklet that Kent gave her and was happily recording there all the dolphin and wild-life sightings! I would highly recommend Kent and Robyn. They are very happy, relaxed and positive people. Definitely one of the best tours we have had in a while!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Marco Island! Kent and Robyn are super informative and really passionate, which makes the tour an even greater experience. Their knowledge and dedication to dolphins / wildlife is amazing. The Dolphin Study which they have created alongside this is superb and gives us all a great insight into each Dolphin. We saw plenty of Dolphins and were educated in a fun, relaxing way. We also saw lots of wildlife and had an opportunity to go shelling. Our eldest (7) was given an activity booklet which kept her fully engaged and was in constant dialogue updating the crew on her sightings and progress. One day, she might even have a newborn Dolphin named after her :-) All in all, a great tour with great tour guides.
