Overview

- Do it all on this trip, look for shells, see dolphins, and spend time in nature. Led by certified naturalists or a biologist, each 3 hour excursion offers expert insight into the area's rich ecosystem.
- Journey out to an island to look for seashells, sunbathe, or get your feet wet. We spend around an hour at the island.
- Look for dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife the entire time. we know where they tend to hang out but wildlife is unpredictable so they may show up at any time during the tour.
- Our tour is also a bird-watcher’s paradise, with countless species gracing the skies and shores.

This scenic and insightful journey blends comfort, adventure, and the wonders of nature. Book your spot today and experience the magic of Estero Bay!

- Small Groups of 28 passengers max, our boat is just as spacious as other 40 passenger tour boats in the area but with better viewing opportunity.
