Marco Island Dolphin & Eco Tour – Private 2 Hour Wildlife Cruise

it was a beautiful day. boat and driver were awesome!

Excellent Adventure, highly recommended

Captain Jason was wonderful! We learned much about the ecosystem and enjoyed having the dolphins show off while following the boat.

Captian Kevin was great! Clean boat! Wonderful experence!

Big dolphins swimming right behind the boat, we loved that the boat had a bathroom, tv with dvds for the kids, and even phone chargers. Good sized comfortable boat with incredible sound system. Captain Mark was amazing, great communication, right on time and handled the boat beautifully, this is the guy you want!!

We had so much fun! Captain Joe is a great guy to chat with and knew a lot of things about the area to share with us. He did a great job. We would definitely book with this company again.

Bring towels, bathing suits and sunscreen. A big cost for shells would be helpful too. We ended up with lots of shells and a whole sand dollar. Dolphins that were riding the wake was a unique experience.

Not to long with kids and very enjoyable with Captain Jack. Weather was perfect and we saw man dolphins.

Captain Joe was the best. Taught us plenty showed us plenty and was very attentive to any needs or questions. We even got to see dolphins swim with us.

Captain Kevin was excellent. Our shelling/eco trip was very enjoyable. Our kids loved it! We saw some dolphins, osprey, and collected lots of shells.

Parking simple, $10 but includes all local county parking lots for 24 hrs so didn’t have to pay twice when moved on to tigertail beach. Easy meet at the dock with guide. Great boat, our guide Jason was super friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great dolphin watching session followed by shelling at 2 beaches. Everything as you’d hope the tour would be, thank you!

We ended up seeing dolphins and lots of birds. Captain Joe even told us the names of all the shells we picked up on the local beach. His enthusiasm for the local ecosystem was palpable and I really appreciated his expertise. He also got us near some playful dolphins that chased our boat for a bit. Was very fun and relaxing!

We saw lots of wild life and the boat captains were congenial and knowledgeable. They were sensitive to the needs of our grandchildren.

This was a great two hours on the water with an experienced boat captain in a very clean boat. Dolphins, birds and shelling on an island were the main attractions. We liked the 4 of us on one small boat. Water provided. Great Value

It was a beautiful day and Captain Joe was professionally and outgoing with his attitude, sharing his knowledge of the area. We had a one year old and he made us feel safe. He went above and beyond for us to experience dolphins We recommend this private tour to everyone of all ages!

Jason was wonderful. He was helpful and very knowledgeable. We really enjoy our time. We felt relaxed and safe.

Fantastic trip. Saw loads of dolphins and birds. Our Captain Kevan was so knowledgeable and made the trip so interesting. Had a great sense of humor and very personable. Beautiful, immaculate boat. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

Capt. Jason was professional and accommodating

Our family enjoyed a 2-hr tour in the afternoon and there was no shortage of dolphins. Captain Kevin was knowledgeable about the area and clearly loves his gig. We had the best time.

Our guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We were surrounded by dolphins for most of the trip. Such a memorable experience.

We had such a great time on the boat tour with Jason. Jason was very knowledgable and professional. We saw so many dolphins, Jason was able to get them to swim next to the boat. The kids had an unforgettable experience!

Capt Joe was terrific! Found a mom and her baby dolphin and they played with our boat. He was an expert on the region and showed us a great time!

Captain Joe was so fun, upbeat, and friendly. He made sure to engage with the dolphins which proved successful - they loved to play and it was so fun to watch them. Great ride. Great stop at an island with options. Wonderful to be on the water.

Captain Kevin was friendly and knowledgeable on the area. He was able to find dolphins to “play” with us which made our day!

It is exactly as described. Luckily we did see dolphins. We saw them quite a few times. They were playing in the wake making for great pictures.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only problem was that the “captain” of the boat didn’t arrive until after ten and we really were worried that there had been some confusion about the time and place. This would need to be addressed before we recommended this trip to others. That said, he provided us with an excellent opportunity to explore the area and was very informative. He also was very helpful in getting me in and off the boat because I use a cane. When I asked my son-in-law if he enjoyed the excursion he said “I loved it!” We all agreed.

We really appreciated Captain Jason‘s prompt communication. We called him and he answered the phone right away. He also texted to clarify our goals for our trip the upcoming day. He was very accommodating to mobility issues as well as autism. He had life jackets ready to go and offered water. He found a group of dolphins within the first 15 minutes of our trip and was able to keep them engaged so we were able to get many great shots and really enjoy them.

what a great experience with Captain Jason. He was professional, informative, and flexible to what we wanted. The boat was great. Best part of the trip he got dolphins to follow the boat. That was way too much fun. If you're looking for something to do on the water, it's a can't miss.

Captain Jason was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and kind. We got to see dolphins and manatees. We had a great swimming and shelling experience on the island. Our family of 6 really enjoyed this experience.

We had a great time with Captain Jason. He ran a great tour and ran a very nice clean boat. He was very informative and great with kids. Would highly recommend.

Jason was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. He took a group of 6 of us out to see dolphins and shelling. We saw plenty of dolphins and explored a small island for some really nice shells. He was also very accommodating by offering to switch our tour date due to weather. I'd recommend using Jason to others looking for this type of excursion.

It was a private tour for 6 which included my husband, my son and daughter-in-law, and my two grandchildren. Our boat captain was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience.

We had an amazing trip with Jason! We decided to do a private trip because we had a 7 month old with us and we were not disappointed at all. Jason was very professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating! We saw dolphins, spent time on an island, and enjoyed a beautiful day from the boat. The 2 hour trip was just long enough for us and we highly recommend it!

Jason was very accommodating and we great views of both Manatees and Dolphins. Made sure we enjoyed ourselves.

The trip was amazing. We did an afternoon tour and saw manatees, collected shells, and had dolphins race the boat on the way back. I would highly recommend this tour for any couples wanting a private experience instead of a large group.

We had a great, relaxing afternoon boat ride. We saw alligators and dolphin and Captain Jason was fun. We loved stopping at a private beach for photos.

Capt. Jason was awesome. Very easy to set up the tour and work with him. He was great with our 3 1/2 year old grandson, even letting him steer on the way back. We saw a gator, manatees, and dolphins. Stopped at a sandy beach for 30-45 minutes of shelling and walking the beach. On the way back, we saw two dolphins and Capt. Jason brought us to the back of the boat and sped up to create a wake for the dolphins to play in, They were jumping the wake, surfing in it, playing and having a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and highly recommend Capt. Jason at 4th Story Charters
