Sanibel Island Lighthouse

On our way to Sanibel Island, we’ll cruise past well-known dolphin watching spots, including the waters near Picnic Island. These areas are home to playful dolphins, and sightings in their natural habitat are frequent., often surfacing and swimming nearby, creating unforgettable moments along the journey.Once we arrive at Sanibel, you’ll have the chance to step ashore near the iconic Sanibel Island Lighthouse. It is a beloved landmark with sweeping views of the Gulf waters stretching out into the Gulf. Guests can take a leisurely walk along the sandy shoreline, hunt for shells on beaches famous for their treasures, or capture photos of the lighthouse framed by palm trees and sea oats. Families may enjoy wading in the shallow waters, while couples can find a quiet spot to sit and take in the scenery. With plenty of unhurried time here, you’re free to relax, explore, and soak up the unique atmosphere of this historic island before we set out on our return journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Dolphin Watching Beach Day Getaway?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Cool Everglades wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Everglades over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
