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.

An incredible 3 hour tour! We saw many different groupings of dolphins and spied some amazing waterfowl, yellow-crowned night heron, juvenile great blue heron and watched pelicans and dolphins interact. We watched them play, frolic and roam around the islands. Kent and Robyn's enthusiasm, knowledge and love for dolphins provided an inside look into the lives of these beautiful animals. It was a memorable, unique experience and we highly recommend it for all age groups.

We have travelled the world and this was one of our all time great experiences. We had a truly magical experience on this tour with Kent & Robyn, They were so kind to our two boys (aged 3 & 7). We learnt a great deal and saw dozens on dolphins and wonderful birds. The boat was comfortable and we cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It says a great deal about a person how they interact with children and these two have such warmth, charm and a huge amount of knowledge and passion for wildlife to share with the next generation. Just go for it and book, you won’t regret it!

Our tour with Kent was the highlight of our SW Florida vacation. He was knowledgeable, attentive to everyone on the boat, and responsive to questions. We were lucky to see dolphins at several locations. They were feeding actively, and Kent identified them for us and told us their histories. The tour also took us to a sandy beach in the mangrove islands where shells were abundant and we had time to explore. It was a relaxing and informative and beautiful three plus hours in good company.
