What a dolphin tour is like

Bottlenose dolphins live in the bays and passes around Naples and Marco Island all year, and they often ride the wake right next to the boat. Most tours last about 2 hours and also pass mangrove islands full of birds. Some add a stop on an island beach for shelling, and some run at sunset.

For the best chance of close sightings, pick a smaller boat. For the cheapest seat, pick a shared tour on a bigger boat.
