I’ve heard such great things about this adventure and couldn’t wait to try it! My sister and I signed up for a day that ended up being canceled due to weather. They were wonderful about calling us ahead of time and getting us rescheduled to the next day. The instructor gave a great tutorial how to operate the boat, and note that there is plenty of room behind the seats in a storage bin to hold your cell phones, sunscreen, and small items like wallet and money. Just make sure you put them in a Ziploc bag because everything could get a little wet. Also recommend bringing a towel for the seat just for some extra cushion. They provided a little cooler with a couple bottles of cold water for each one of us. There is a stop halfway through at a beach where you can pick up some shells and just stretch your legs. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we saw a few dolphins, a massive sea turtle, and plenty of birds. It was so fun! Highly recommend!

We had a really good...

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

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 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!"

How much do Naples tours cost?

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.
