Q&A

Q: Can you tell me if there are any age limits for the Dolphin Eco Boat Tour?

A: There aren't any strict age limits for the Dolphin Eco Boat Tour! It's designed for all ages, so kids are welcome and it’s a great educational experience for them. Just make sure the little ones are comfortable on a boat and can wear life jackets — which are provided. The captain is great with kids too!

Q: What should we wear for the boat tour? Is it usually hot?

A: Definitely wear lightweight, breathable clothing since it can get pretty warm out on the water. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must! I also recommend bringing a hat. If you can, wear flip-flops or water shoes since you’ll be shelling on the beach too. Just remember, it’s all about comfort!

Q: How does parking work at the docks? Is it free?

A: Parking is included in the tour price, so no worries there! Just pull up to the private docks at 220 Goodland Dr, and you’ll find plenty of spots. The area gets busy, especially during peak seasons, so try to arrive a little early to secure a good spot.

Thinking of gifting the Dolphin Eco Tour! Any thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m considering this Dolphin, Shelling, Birding Eco Boat Tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love nature, and I think it’d be a perfect gift since it's in Naples! Has anyone done this tour? What were your thoughts? Is it worth the price? They’re both in their 60s but pretty adventurous. Thanks!

Just did the Dolphin Eco Boat Tour - WOW!

I just got back from the tour and had to share! We saw so many dolphins, and the shelling on the beach was a blast. The guide told us all about the ecosystem, which made it even more interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outing in Naples. Perfect for families or just a group of friends!
