The 10,000 Islands Excursion is the best way to experience the natural world around Marco Island. Conducted within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, you will experience what many describe as, "The Best of Florida".

The tour is a two-part experience. The first part is a slow, intimate boating tour amongst the remote islands of the Ten Thousand Islands. While you search for dolphins, manatees and sea turtles, you may encounter ospreys, bald eagles, ibis, roseate spoonbill, egrets, herons and any number of shorebird species. All the while, your formally trained Florida Master Naturalist guide will talk to you about the area's ecosystems, it's long history and rich culture. The second part of your excursion is an exploration of a remote barrier island beach ... an island that you only can reach by boat ... an island that few get to experience. Learn about beach dynamics; stroll through the tidal flats and wade the tidal pools of these remote islands.

Duration: 2 hours

    So many favorite parts to our trip. Multiple dolphin sightings, stopped at two islands for shelling, and great photo op at the dome homes!! Joe, the Captain and first mate, Kim were very knowledgeable of the wildlife and really made the trip enjoyable.

    The Dolphins were up close and personal. You have to bring your own water, drinks, and snacks. The captain and first mate were great. I would recommend this activity.

    What a wonderful excursion!! Captain Joe and Molly were a delight. We saw dolphins, sharks, stingrays and tons of birds. We did some shelling and saw the dome houses. We’ve done a few of these excursions anytime we go on vacation. This was my husband’s favorite!! This was an awesome way to spend the morning. Would do this again.

    Joe was great captain. There were 3 of us and 3 others who were together so the smaller boat was perfect. We stopped at 3 islands for shelling & Joe told us where to find best shells. Also made sure we had a great view of the dome houses. Amazing to realize this unique area off the coast of Marco & it's history. Highly recommend. One point I would make however, is getting on and off the boat at the Goodland Boat Park would not be easy for anyone with physical handicaps. We were 3 folks all 73 y.o. We were able to make the climb up & down (even with joint replacements) but could see that it could be difficult for some our age.

    Captain Ed and first mate Kim gave our tour an informative and enjoyable ride. We saw everything they said we might. Beautiful birds, dolphins and even a couple manatees. Very enjoyable!

    As a parent of teenagers, it is difficult to find excursions that please both the adults and the teens. This trip was absolutely one of the best we have ever taken! Captain Ed is a seasoned boat captain, and took us to all the best places surrounding Marco Island. Beautiful, uninhabited beaches, full of shells and powdery sand, and he shared his extensive knowledge of the local wildlife and sea life. We topped off a terrific afternoon with dolphins playing and surfing in the wake of our boat. Glorious!!!

    It was great getting out on the water with Captain Ed. We enjoy learning about the environment that we are visiting and Ed was a great source of information. While we are not big into shelling, I must admit that his knowledge of different shells and the critters that inhabit them was captivating. It was nice to get away from the human developed side of this area and see these islands as Mother Nature created them! Thank you Ed!

    Fantastic trip. Ed, our guide was terrific, even picking out the best shells for us. He knew where to find the best birds and brought us in as close as possible. We had pods of dolphins playing in the wake of our boat several times. He took us to all the well known spots and many that most people don'e usually see. Highly recommended!!

    Captain Seth was a great tour guide! We were extremely happy with his knowledge of the area, foliage, and wildlife! He did all he could to steer us out of a storm and got us back safely with an amazing adventure! We will do this again and highly recommend taking this tour
