Wild Dolphin Boat Tour
Resident Atlantic bottlenose dolphins
The dolphins around Marco Island and the 10,000 Islands’ national wildlife refuge are extraordinary. Extremely intelligent, dolphins exhibit behaviors similar to humans. Some of these are social structure, social earning, and familial bonds.
Boating and Dolphins
If there are two things to do around Marco Island on a boat, they are going on a boat ride and seeing Marco’s resident wild dolphins. These are the most sought-after experiences around the island.
Marco Island’s resident dolphins
The dolphins around Marco Island and the 10,000 Islands’ national wildlife refuge are extraordinary. Yearlong residents, our dolphins are playful and always a joy to see. These dolphins love the waters around our paradise island and never leave.
Dolphin tour smiles
Marco’s locals can tell you firsthand the Dolphins that live around our island always put a smile on our faces. Whether the dolphins are hunting, playing with their fish, teaching their young, or playing in the waves, no face will be without a smile watching them!
See baby dolphins
Dolphin sightings are excellent all year, although they can sometimes be hard to find in the fall, both hurricane season and birthing season. Thus, although more reclusive, fall into winter is also the most likely time to see a baby dolphin.
”Awesome boat trip with Captain Nate! Before heading to the dome house, Nate took us to some wildlife hotspots which didn't disappoint: dolphins up close that wanted to show off and play in our boat's wake, and an abundance of birdlife, plus Nate's knowledge, we felt privileged. The uniqueness of the dome house itself was so unusual and different, definitely a must-see. Thanks Nate!
