About
Departing from Goodland, a small historic fishing village on the south end of Marco Island, we'll take you through the mangrove forests and barrier islands of the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
As we navigate this giant maze of islands, you can expect to see lots of Atlantic bottlenose dolphin and an abundance of coastal birds — pelicans, egrets, herons, eagles, osprey, and roseate spoonbills. Occasionally we encounter manatees, sea turtles, jumping tarpon, or spotted eagle rays along the way, even bobcats and raccoons swimming between the mangrove keys.
Our beach stop brings us to one of the remote barrier islands only accessible by boat, south of Marco Island. These islands are renowned for their abundance of rare shells like olives, alphabet cones and the elusive junonia. Tide pools may reveal sea stars, horse conchs, sand dollars, lightning whelks—even octopus.
Join a small group shared tour or reserve the whole boat with a private tour for up to 6, 8 or 12. We may be able to accommodate additional passengers if you have children in your group. Call to book more than 12 guests.
