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.

Captain Rick was amazing. He made sure we saw plenty of dolphins.the boat was very clean and there not too many people aboard. Thank you for a great experience

Watching dolphins play in the wake of the small boat was incredible! The boat is quite small but that is perfect in the sheltered waters. It also allows the dolphins to get very close to you. Have your camera ready and be ready to smile.

Great experience and captain Gary was fantastic! 7 year old daughter loved it! Saw many dolphins and had a beautiful cruise on the water. Small boat so not crowded.

The boat was small and private. Captain was very familiar with the area and took us on a great tour or homes looking for dolphins. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the captain was able to have them follow our boat and jump and bodysurf along side the boat. Great experience

Captain Nate made this boat trip the highlight of our stay in Marco. His experience, information and stories enlightened and entertained. Seeing the wild dolphin play in our boat wake is a treasured memory we’ll always remember.

We went on the wild dolphin boat tour with Captain Nate. It was a delightful trip. Capt Nate’s love of nature and his knowledge of the habitat and local species of birds and fish and most importantly dolphins was refreshing and educational. We got to see the fun and play of many dolphins. He got them to join in on the waves created by our lboat - the dolphins swam, jumped and dove in and out of the water watching us in the boat. This was one of the best boat rides we have been on. We will cherish the videos of the dolphins. Capt Nate also helped us retrieve a hat that we lost in the water even after we told him it was ok. All in all this was a very memorable trip that we will gladly recommend for one and all. Captain Nate’s love of nature and knowledge is what makes this even more special. Best!!

Great trip with Capt Rick, very knowledgeable and very enjoyable trip. Was able to locate some dolphins and have them chase behind us. Great experience

Absolutely fantastic trip! Captain Nate was very knowledgeable about marine life, island ecology and Marco island history. As we traversed the bays he pointed out manatees, ospreys and we even had an opportunity to see dolphins catching fish. Captain Nate was awesome! We definitely recommend taking a trip with this thoroughly insightful tour guide.

Beautiful day and a comfortable boat with ice cooler. Fun couple managing the ride for us and tried to impart knowledge of dolphins so help us better appreciate these wild mammals. Then we spotted them and they play ed near us. When Captain Nate sped up the boat, the dolphins played in the wake jumping and flopping! so much fun with nature! Plenty of boat trip time searching for other pods, which we found. Would highly recommend this trip. Ask your questions.
