We had a really good time. It was hard to find my dolphins because the Captain kept saying it was lunch time. I could have chased them all day. Our trip was at 11:30 to 230. That's definitely lunch time. So if you want to see them body surf. Don't select this time slot! Lol

Relaxing mini cruise

A very special way of enjoying the natural beauty and man made beauty of Naples. Our trip was smooth, comfortable and informative with just the right amount of narration. Of course one of the highlights was the two dolphins racing alongside our boat. This was my second trip and I would enjoy it again

Paul_B, Oct 2026

We had a great tour

Jamie, our captain, was friendly, professional, and knowledgable. On the way out to Kice island she explained the role of mangroves in the 10,000 islands. We saw several pods of dolphins feeding and many birds including blue heron and a spoonbill. On the island Jamie directed us to an area that was rich with fresh shells from the storm last night. We collected several bags.

Wow!

The experience was wonderful from start to finish! Thank you Eric! Everything was thoughtfully explained, from the booking process and location details to what to wear and what to bring. Getting into the kayaks was easy, and the instructions on how to maneuver and control the kayak were clear and helpful. Our guide, Eric, also made the experience especially enjoyable by sharing interesting facts about manatees and dolphins, including their habitat, behavior, and hunting techniques. The combination of excellent instruction, beautiful surroundings, and fascinating information made this an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this tour!

Shells on shells on shells

Went on relaxing excursion on a large Catamaran to Keewaydin Island to go shelling.

The beach was perfect and we found so many beautiful shells. 10 out of 10 recommend. Only bad things is that we couldn’t stay longer!

La Paz City Tour with Balandra Beach and Pueblo Magica Todos Santos

Tonya_A, Jul 2026

Core Memory-Making Trip!

This tour was amazing and I would do it all over again! I realized the early pickup was necessary as some buses got turned away and Balandra Beach as they have a capacity cutoff. The beach was amazing with shallow waters all the way to the mushroom formation. La Paz was fantastic as I won a pearl at the Velvet Box, and had mounted into a ring. Todos Santos was the perfect ending. This beautiful town reminded my daughters of the movie Coco and we needed more time for the extensive artisan market. Our tour guide Gabriel was fantastic, and knew so much about the land and landmarks, and took great care of us! Absolutely recommend - 5 stars all the way!

We had an awesome day on...

We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Matt. We followed some dolphins on the way out, saw an osprey snag a fish, and watched pelicans diving in the water. Shelling island was amazing. Tons of beautiful shells for the kids to take home. On the way back we found 2 dolphins that followed our boat and kept jumping on our wake. Captain Matt was very informative and great with the kids. Highly recommend this adventure!

Naples, Florida, tours tend to focus on water activities, and it’s no surprise when you see the miles of gorgeous white sand beaches along this part of the Gulf of Mexico. If you’re looking for a relaxing option, book a sunset sail with your closest friends or paddle through the mangroves and mudflats of the Everglades with a naturalist pointing out wildlife along the way. Adventure seekers can get their hearts pumping on a Jet Ski or motorboat tour, where you might encounter playful dolphins if you are lucky.

What are the best tours in Naples?

Are guided tours in Naples worth it?

Yes, guided tours of Naples are definitely worth it. Not only can local guides fill you in on the history of Old Naples and make your trip more meaningful, but they can also help you access areas like the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands that are harder to visit on your own. Guides know where and when to go, whether you're looking for manatees, dolphins, shells, seabirds, or all of the aforementioned.

Per one customer who booked the Marco Island Wildlife Sightseeing and Shelling Tour, "Absolutely amazing tour! Captain Colleen was incredible—so knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to give us unforgettable views of dolphins and even a sea turtle. We had a great time shelling, and Captain Colleen was very helpful at spotting different shells and helping our girls identify them. Truly a magical experience!"

Guided tours of Naples are available at a wide range of prices, so it's easy to find something for most budgets: self-guided kayak tours start around US$30 per person, and 2-hour tours with live guides start around US$50 per person. At the higher end of the price range, dolphin cruises and airboat tours begin around US$100 per person. Of course, the most expensive options are private tours and multi-day excursions.

For an immersive tour at the lower end of the price range, book the Guided Tour of Naples on a Vintage Trolley (Hop on - Hop off) for around US$45 per person.

Pricier options include the 10,000 Islands Boat Excursion - 3.5-Hour Dolphins & Shelling Tour from US$170 per person. Get out on the Gulf of Mexico with your seasoned captain and guide who will point out all the marine life you can't easily see from the shore. The tour also includes a stop at a secluded island where you'll have plenty of time to hunt for shells to take home.

What activities are included on Naples tours?

Naples tours offer the chance to try an array of activities, so it's easy to find something for everyone in your group. Land-based activities include trolley rides, cooking classes, glassblowing workshops, and Segway tours. If you're looking to get out on the water, you'll find sunset sails, shelling excursions, and dolphin cruises, as well as plenty of kayak and stand-up paddleboarding tours. Birding, e-biking, and airboating excursions are also available.

All-day Naples tours will help you pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Everglades National Park Naturalist Led Hike, 2 Boat Trips + More includes a guided hike, an airboat tour, a stop at the world's smallest post office, a visit to Everglades City, and a scenic cruise through the mangrove forests that make up the Ten Thousand Islands. Despite the packed itinerary, you'll have lots of fun photo opportunities: taking pictures is encouraged.

How many days in Naples is enough?

Naples can easily be done in 2–3 days if you’re just looking for a weekend getaway. However, give yourself 4–5 days if you want to move at a slower pace and take a day trip to Everglades National Park. Just under a week allows for a full day of golfing, at least one day relaxing at the beach, and plenty of time to take guided tours or visit neighboring Marco Island and the Ten Thousand Islands.
