Relaxing and dog-friendly - What a beautiful place to see and a fun tour! We had a wonderful time even though the manatees didn't show themselves. We were able to take our dog and he seemed to enjoy looking for manatees as well. The sunset was perfect. We will do this again.

Fishing and sightseeing. - We did the 2.5 hour fishing trip with Jimmy and Virginia! It was fabulous. Our grandkids had a blast. We all caught fish. 3 Goliath grouper, red snapper, jack, catfish and even a hammerhead shark. It was a blast. We saw a bobcat swimming from one island to another and saw a gator. It was perfect!

Beautiful sunset and wildlife with captain Brian - On Valentine’s Day my husband and friends did this tour to celebrate valentine’s Day and my husband‘s birthday. We had Captain Brian. He was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. We were very fortunate to see a very large alligator within minutes of going out and then finding a manatee and having a really good view of it. And then a few minutes later, seeing some dolphins. This was about in the first 45 minutes of the trip. Phenomenal. Then we went out into the ocean to a sandbank and collected some shells. And then Captain Brian was able to position us in a great position to see a beautiful sunset despite the clouds. this was our second booking with this company, and I am going to be booking another one for a couple weeks from now. Highly recommend!

Manatees, Dolphins, & More! - Captain John did a wonderful job guiding us through the mangroves. We saw manatees, dolphins and many types of birds. Highly recommend.

Simply amazing - Everything it was simply amazing Several Alligators several manatees Variety of birds fish jumping dolphins galore Whitehorse island had amazing shells The sunset was breathtaking and the icing on the cake was as a full moon rising on the way back Captain John was funny informative and was very interactive with us and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour

Beautiful very small group tour on a pontoon boat - First, I hope I'm reviewing the correct trip that I was on. This company seems to go by several names, but I think they are all the same company (Naples Florida Dolphin Tours, Manatee Sightseeing and Wildlife Adventures, See Manatees). We went on a 3 hour manatee, dolphin, 10,000 Island, sunset tour with Captain John. When we made the reservation, we were given clear directions as to where to park and where to meet our group. Captain John was waiting for us. Our tour was on a pontoon boat that can accommodate up to 6 guests. We were a group of 4. Which was really a great, more personalized experience. There is a cute shop near the docks where one can use the restroom. There is no restroom on the boat. John was great at telling us all about the area, about the wildlife we were seeing, sharing some jokes. We did see some manatee. Just to point out, it kind of reminded me of a whale watch - where you see a fin or tail. With the manatee, we saw the snout popping out of the water, a bit of the body going by. But still exciting! We also saw dolphin, vultures, ibis, osprey, mullets jumping out of the water. We stopped at a beachy island in the midst of the 10,000 Islands and could do some shelling. Then headed into the open waters of the Gulf to watch the beautiful sunset. And two dolphin swam by just as the sun was setting. What a treat! After the sunset, darkness falls quickly. Captain John used a bit of speed to get us back to the docks before it got fully dark. He certainly knows how to navigate these waters. It was a wonderful experience.

Fun boat ride, fun captain, and fun friends. - This was a wonderful trip with a terrific captain, John. He kept us entertained and informed about the various wildlife. Saw alligators, dolphins and so many different birds. No manatee this trip. Scenery was beautiful and the sunset amazing. It was a great way to end our vacation and it was so very peaceful out on the water. We loved the small intimate group. Would definitely recommend this adventure.

Phenomenal - This was a great experience. Captain Wes was great. Watching dolphins feed and watching the sunset was phenomenal.

Great views - It was a great sunset viewing but unfortunately we were unable to locate the fish. We saw a couple dolphins but no manatees. Maybe bringing fish on bard to feed them, may draw them closer.

Nothing to see here, folks - They say there’s always a risk of no animal sightings, and they were right. Nice area. Tour guide not especially knowledgeable about marine biology
