Naples Florida Dolphin Adventures - Naples, Florida

Best part of the WHOLE vacation! We saw manatee, American alligators, many different birds, got several beautiful shells from an island, and dolphins playing in the waves. Our guide Wes was full of knowledge, knew the animals behaviors and got super close to the animals without scaring them or putting them in danger. He took extra time to get the dolphins attention so they would do jumps for us. Definitely worth every penny!!

The sunset manatee tour was really enjoyable. We saw a good number of manatees, some alligators, and some other wildlife. Our captain John was friendly and knowledgeable. We made a stop at White Horse Key for a walk on the beach and some shelling. He took us to a nice vantage point on the water to watch the sun sink below the horizon. Would recommend.

This was one of the most amazing days! We went on a boat tour with John, where we got to see manatees, dolphins, crocodiles, and the most breathtaking sunset—all in one trip. But here’s the crazy part: we actually saw all of them! That’s such a rare experience, and it made the entire adventure feel like pure magic.

John isn’t just a guide—he’s an absolute legend! His sense of humor is spot-on, and his jokes kept us laughing the whole time. But what really stood out was his thoughtfulness. We didn’t bring any warm clothes, and he immediately offered us a massive rescue blanket that was even warmer than a winter jacket 😝

This tour felt like stepping into a dream, and John was the one who made it all so unforgettable. Huge thanks for an incredible adventure captain

My family of 4 (kids age 8 and 10) and my in laws went out with Capt. John on December 26 in the afternoon and had an excellent time. We were able to see quite a few alligators, manatees and a few dolphins. In addition we were able to see various birds, fish and even a keys raccoon (not to be confused with the every day trash panda).

We arrived 20 minutes before our departure, went into the marina store to use the restrooms before venturing out about ten minutes before our scheduled departure time . The weather was perfect and Capt. John was fantastic as our guide. He and the other Captains were keeping each other informed where various wildlife was throughout our time on the water.

We were dropped off on one of the islands to do some shelling. Unfortunately there were a lot of gnats that day, but they didn’t bite they were just annoying. Nothing anybody can do about that. You’re in nature, in SW Florida.

Coming back in we were able to see a large (12’ perhaps) gator sunning himself on a dock and were able to see a few dolphins.

This was a Christmas gift to our kids as we are from Cleveland and have come down to Naples every Christmas for the past 7 years. The kids had a blast and were so happy to see the manatees and dolphins.

Capt. John knew his stuff and was excellent. He had quite a few good dad jokes too. We all had polarized sunglasses but had had quite a few with him to help spot the wildlife in the water. He even had polarized filters to go over your camera lenses on your phone for pictures/video. It’s a small thing but greatly appreciated.

We weren’t sure what to expect going in but we were quite happy and have no reservations on suggesting Naples Dolphin Adventures. Highly recommend! 10/10. Thank you Capt. John!

This experience was awesome! Enjoyed a fantastic afternoon with Captain John. We saw manatee and some very playful dolphins. We did the full tour which included the eco tour on the private island on the Gulf. Boats were super clean and safe! Strongly recommend!

Captain Brian was very knowledgeable and informative during our 90 minute tour. Though the manatees weren't being very cooperative he was able to track a couple for us. We had a great time and would do it again.
Thanks Captain Brian!

What an amazing experience! It’s always hard for animal tours because it all depends on the animals but we saw the manatee, gators, and dolphins! Captain Wes was fantastic!! He worked hard to make sure we saw everything and had an awesome time. He got the dolphins to play with the boat waves. Got some great videos of the dolphins! Very happy with our experience

We recently took a boat tour with Captain John, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we set sail, Captain John's humor and charisma made the trip enjoyable and engaging. He shared fascinating insights about the area, ensuring we not only had fun but also learned a lot along the way. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, manatees, and even gators, which made the adventure even more exciting! The scenery was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I highly recommend this boat tour for anyone looking for a memorable outing. Captain John is truly the best, and we can't wait to go again!
