My husband and I really enjoyed our time on the water with Captain Alex. He made every effort to find various birds and water fowl. We got lucky and spotted a Roseatta Spoonbill as well as Ospry, Heron and Egret. The dolphins were sparse but the highlight of the trip was the manatee that Captain Alex found. There were 8 or 9 of them and we got to hang out and watch them swim. A couple of them even swam by the boat. The shelling was also great. We were able to beach the boat and get of to find some really cool shells. I think we are taking home about 5 pounds. Highly recommend this tour.

The starting point was easy to find and we were greeted very warmly! The boat tour was really nice, we saw lots of animals (dolphins, manatees, birds). We also found some really nice shells. I can definitely recommend the tour.

We visited Marco Island in April and had an amazing time with Captain Glenn and his crew. The boat trip was great and we got to see Ospreys and Dolphins, my daughters highlight of our entire holiday, and then got off the boat to do some shelling. We didn't find too many shells as it was late afternoon but we did find a horseshoe crab carapace and the crew gave us a sand-dollar.
All in all, a great afternoon on the water and well worth the cost. I even left my water shoes onboard and the crew brought them back to the office for me, great customer service!
One last thing, a big thank you Captain Glenn for your advice on the Loop road, definitely an added bonus to our trip cross country to Miami. We saw gators, turtles and a few others bits, thanks again.

We went on this tour on May 1, 2024. The captain was very knowledgeable about the area and stopped a number of times to point out animals and natural foliage that we would have missed, and explained the ecosystem of the area to us. The captain was able to get dolphins to play in the wake of the boat so we could see them up close. The beach we were taken to had beautiful white sand with more shells than I've seen at any other beach. The water was very warm and you can snorkel here, but only for large shells as there are no fish in the area. It is shallow so you would really only need a mask. The whole trip took about 2.5 hours. This is a very enjoyable boat tour that I would recommend to all nature-lovers.

This tour was excellent. The captain and first mate were knowledgeable and personable. It was nice being on a small boat.

This is a really nice tour! Capt Jeff and First Mate Sonya were both very informative and funny. The shelling was decent, but the real exciting part was when we connected with a pod of dolphins that enjoyed jumping repeatedly in the flatbottom boat's wake.
Small boat = small group... which was nice and provided a very personal experience. We will book with Eco Endeavors again next year!
