    Great experience. I have two 18 year olds and a 14 year old and everyone had a great time. Derek our Captain was also wonderful and really invested in ensuring fun was had by all.

    Amazing experience. Our guide was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend. In a short period of time we got to see wildlife and the shelling was beyond what I imagined.

    This was such a fun afternoon activity for my family. Captain Matt was super kind and gave us an awesome ride through the waters to find dolphins and beautiful seashells. SO glad we chose to do this!!

  • 5Awesome

    Matt, our guide, was great! There were many tours to choice from and we weren’t sure which would be best. We made a great choice. Very laid back and chill. We rode to a private island with a million plus shells - and on the way back saw 5-10 different dolphins. We had 2 kids and 1 elder - great experience for all. 5 stars!

About Naples

Naples is a Gulf Coast city in south-west Florida, with white beaches, a long wooden pier, palm-lined shopping streets and a gateway to the Everglades.

Naples lies on Florida's Gulf coast, a city of wide white beaches, canals, golf courses and palm-lined avenues. Its pier, rebuilt several times since the 19th century, stretches out over the water, and Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are lined with shops, galleries and restaurants in Spanish-style and tropical buildings. Tin City, a waterfront group of shops, sits beside the river.
