Nate was the man! We arrived 2 mins late, but we weren’t made to feel that, a big smile from Nate put us both at ease and we set off on a brilliant 2 hour trip. CARE - there is not much parking here - the advert in fairness did say the same - but seriously, with a number of trips happening from Goodland daily, best to get there early to avoid disappointment. The trip was about seeing dolphins and we did eventually get up close to a few, magical videos taken - sheer excitement of being close to these animals is hard to explain, but it really is ! We didn’t see Manatee, but we didnt expect to, its early in the season for these creatures, water’s too cool in Sprint time. We did see more Osprey than Ive seen probably in my life - must have been 50 of them, young and mature birds, hunting, see these hunting and catching fish is something you wont forget easily. Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Cormorant, tortoise, Burrowing Owl’s - it really was a trip worth doing. Nate too us out to the Gulf of Mexico which was very cool before turning back into Marco in search of the dolphins, which when we found them they were hunting fish. The water here it was explained was mostly 4ft deep for up to a couple of miles out - so safety never felt an issue on the trip - though Nate was an excellent captain and clearly knows his subject matter.

Thanks for your review of our Marco dolphin boat tour with Florida Island Tours. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip with Capt. Nate! Sometimes the dolphins can be hard to find, sounds like your Captain went the extra mile to find them. We appreciate you coming to visit and choosing us to be your guide to Marco Island and the 10,000 islands. Arriving early is great advice to others!!
