These areas are home to playful dolphins, and sightings in their natural habitat are frequent., often surfacing and swimming nearby, creating unforgettable moments along the journey. Once we arrive at Sanibel, you’ll have the chance to step ashore near the iconic Sanibel Island Lighthouse.

Fort Myers stands on the Caloosahatchee River in south-west Florida, inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and is known as the City of Palms.
