Experience a close-up wildlife encounter with one of the smartest animals on earth, dolphins, which seem to be naturally drawn to humans and like to show off their jumping skills in our boat's wake. Other animals which are possible to see while on the trip are manatees, ospreys, bald eagles and different types of wading birds. You will also have a chance to learn about the greater Everglades ecosystem and the steps that are being taken to preserve it. And last but not least we will watch the colorful Florida sunset from the water. While out on a trip feel free to ask any questions and express any concerns or needs you may have. And don't forget to bring your camera since there will be lots of opportunities to take some good photos of the sunset and wildlife!
We stop at the secluded beach area of the island. Most of the time we are the only group of people. You can decide how long you want to stay on the island and if you want to enjoy the sunset from the island, which also gives a beautiful view. You can collect seashells, go for a swim or a walk on the beach. Or if you do not want to stop at the island at all and stay on the boat instead the whole time we can do that too - it is fully up to you.
This was our FAVORITE excursion in Naples. Paul is fabulous, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He slowed and circled many times for the kids (and let’s be real, the adults) to see the dolphin and manatee swimming in the channel. Shell collecting on our private beach (we were literally the only people there) and the beautiful setting sun made this an A+ adventure.
Paul was awesome. Loved the private tour of the waterway. A great stop to walk across the island for some time on the beach. And then ended up in a perfect spot for the sunset!
We had an excellent experience exploring all the sights, with an excursion on a private beach. The captain was super nice.
Great experience for family members visiting from out of town. They saw some beautiful Naples homes, great scenery, wildlife, dolphins and more. A highlight was a stop that provided access to a beautiful beach where we went shelling and swimming in the Gulf. Captain Paul was a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. Truly an experience for all of us that will be remembered forever!
This was the best boat tour I have ever been on! Captain Paul was so knowledgeable and so nice! We had the most amazing dolphin show during sunset! Something I will remember for the rest of my life!
This was a Christmas gift for my parents who were traveling to Naples for the winter. Our daughter also was able to join them. They texted me immediately after the trip to say how amazing the captain was. They also got to see a ton of wildlife.
Captain Paul was a great guide. The Sunsrt cruise was beautiful! The Kewadin Island walk was so spectacular.
We loved having just the 4 of us and Captain Paul on the boat. He was very easy to talk to & joke with. He was knowledgeable about many, many things & was able to answer all our questions. He turned the boat different directions for good pictures of dolphins, birds, homes, & the beautiful sunset! And we picked many different kinds, colors & sizes of shells! Bonus!
Great tour by Captain Paul and he’s very knowledgeable of the local waterways. Boat worked perfect for 4 people.
Great caption really knew how to drive his boat knew area in & our as well as great info. We had a great time with Paul our caption & perfect weather
Great tour! Captain Paul is a great host and has a great knowledge of the local wildlife. A wonderful cozy sunset cruise! Thank you Captain Paul!
This experience was phenomenal - beautiful boat ride throughout the ten thousand islands. Captain Paul shared thorough knowledge of the area which immersed us into the experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this trip again!
This is a really nice excursion, the boat is very clean, Paul was great, he was in time, he was very knowledgeable, the island he took us to was secluded with a really long beach, and the way back was filled with different sightings of different animals and birds, the conclusion with the sun set was amazing, it is an amazing excursion, do it if you can.
We had an amazing time! Paul is a wonderful Captain & we really enjoyed all the information about the area. We would definitely do this trip again. It was really beautiful & the beach was a perfect stop. Highly recommend!
We have lived in Florida for 10 years and have travelled widely, by this was by far the best boat trip we have taken. Our guide and driver, Paul was knowledgeable and laid back. The weather was terrific and we enjoyed a wonderful sunset. The birdlife and dolphins put on a show too just to complete a great day.
Perfect way to wrap up a day on spring break. Captain was on time and boat was clean. Snacks provided made my family smile and the drinks were ice cold. Literally saw dolphins within the first five minutes feet from the boat! Very educational and relaxing trip. Beautiful sunset! Highly recommend!
What a great evening! Our sunset cruise was perfect. Paul was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the local ecology. We loved the time on Keewaydin Island, and the sunset views from the boat were fantastic.
Captain Paul met us promptly at the dock and showed us to his boat. It was spotlessly clean and there was plenty of room as we were just husband and wife on a romantic private tour. We were offered a myriad of snacks and non alcoholic drinks from a stacked cooler box. I had said that I would love to see a dolphin and Paul was hopeful that we would. Whilst cruising by some of the large houses on the water we spotted two dolphin and Paul set off to see them close up. We cruised down a waterway between Keewaydin Island and the Gulf of Mexico passing through some of the empty narrow channels. All the time Paul had some point of interest or bird.ife to tell us about. He then docked up on this side of the Island and we walked through a very short tail and emerged on the deserted island where we free to swim, shell, picnic, walk or see the sunset. We spent a nice time there but preferred to cruise back up the channel to see the sunset at the entrance to the sea. Along the way we spotted some dolphins Paul immediately set about making a wake for them to play in and we saw the most magical dolphin show all the way home. Fabulous. Then we joined all the other boats watching a superb sunset and still Paul took us for a small tour of some of the mansions before we went back to the dock. I would highly recommend Paul, his boat and his tour knowledge.
Captain Paul knowledgeable and pleasant. Handled the boat beautifully. Sunset amazing. Scenery beautiful
Paul was great, it was a fun, safe family adventure and we saw a dolphin, went to a beach with no people on it!
Captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave ample time to explore and was very flexible during our trip (bathroom breaks, longer time at beach, etc.) Highly recommend this private tour.
Exploring the mangrove forests, spotting ospreys and other shore birds, and enjoying the beauty of Keewaydin in solitude were two experiences we hadn’t anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed. Watching the sunset in the Gulf with dolphins playing all around made this an unforgettable moment, a standout in our family time together in Naples.
We saw dolphins, beautiful houses and a wonderful sunset. We enjoyed the boat ride with a knowledgeable guide.
We had a great trip with Captain Paul! He was full of fun facts about the area, and knew all the best spots to take us to. Would definitely book again, thanks for a great evening at a very reasonable price!
Paul was very informative and very fun to spend an afternoon with. The interaction with the dolphins was awesome!!
Dolphins, osprey, a beautiful beach and a fun and knowledgeable captain!! A great tour! Highly recommended.
Paul, our captain, and the overall beauty of the waterways and nature/wildlife made this experience fantastic!! Unfortunately, the availability of seating 6 was not as fantastic or as advertised! PLEASE BEWARE!!! The "6 available seats" requires 1 person to sit next to the captain during the entire trip, which defeats the purpose of a group outing. Also, 2 of the seats is simply a cushion affixed to a cooler, yes a cooler. This is the same cooler where the beverages and light snacks are stored, so if you plan to drink any of the beverages or snacks that are offered, you have to stand up to retrieve them from the cooler 2 of your party will be sitting on. Additionally, the overall space on the boat is extremely limited and rather cramped. We made the best of the seating limitations (2 of us sat along the rails on either side of the boat).
Wonderful tour our tour captain Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable we had a wonderful time great service wonderful experience would definitely do it again
Enjoyed the day with friends and Captain Paul out on the water. Learned much about the natural environment in the area. Saw dolphins, pink spoonbills and other birds feeding in the shallows. Had time to take a short stroll through the mangroves to go shelling on a pristine private beach before watching the sunset. You’re in good hands with Captain Paul. Highly recommend.
Captain Paul is very knowledgeable and easy going and we had a FANTASTIC private tour of the local waterfront mansions as well as an ecological tour of the mangroves. Highly recommend Captain Paul!!
This tour was fantastic! Captain Paul was wonderful. He knew all the best places to take us to ensure we had the best views of the sunset! He was so knowledgable about everything from the wildlife to the plants to the homes. It was such a unique and fantastic experience. Loved seeing the dolphins!! I highly recommend!
Captain Paul was awesome! My now fiance got engaged on the sunset tour. Captain Paul showed us a great time and was very knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. He went above beyond for us on this tour and would highly recommend anyone to do this trip.
We had a great time on our sunset cruise. Captain Paul was knowledgeable, good sense of humor & welcoming. Would do again if visiting Naples. Highly recommend.
The boat is very small but Captain Paul is a great tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about the local area. The weather did not cooperate but we had friends and family and lots to drink so it was a fun evening. I would recommend this charter.
A beautiful experience of seeing fun loving dolphins jumping and swimming alongside Captain Paul’s boat.
