We liked hearing about...

Stephanie_G, Mar 2026

We liked hearing about the history of Goodland and Marco Island. Plus the original inhabitants. We almost missed the tour but Captain Nate was kind and enough to call and wait for us. We were at the wrong marina. Maybe better instructions of where to meet on the ticket.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you, Stephanie! Florida Island Tours is so glad you enjoyed learning about the history of Goodland, Marco Island, and the area’s original inhabitants. That local storytelling is a big part of what makes our Marco Island dolphin tours special. We’re also happy Captain Nate was able to connect with you in time—he always does his best to take care of guests. For future guests, the exact address and step-by-step directions are included on the ticket and confirmation. Taking a quick look before arrival helps avoid mix-ups, as there are a few nearby marinas. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again soon on the water 🌊🐬

Great time in Marco!!!

Captain Nate made this boat trip the highlight of our stay in Marco. His experience, information and stories enlightened and entertained. Seeing the wild dolphin play in our boat wake is a treasured memory we’ll always remember.
