Program details

Marco Island Boat Tours’s Excursion is a premier experience in the 10,000 Island Wildlife Area and is superb for the entire family. Your licensed US Coast Guard Captain and Florida Master Naturalist Guide, in a very comfortable power boat, will take you through the mangrove estuary of the costal Everglades and 10,000 Islands. You will learn about the area as a whole - its unique ecosystems, as well as, its long history and rich culture.



You may encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, heron, egrets, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, and/or numerous species of fish and shore birds.



On a remote barrier island, you will leave the power boat for a hands-on experience on the island’s beaches, tidal pools, and inter-tidal zones. Shelling on these beaches is awesome as these islands can only be reached with a boat, so they have few people shelling. You are likely to see more shells here that you have ever seen!



This experience is like the Marco Island Dolphin, Wildlife and Shelling Tour, but is 3 ½ hours long. The longer that you have in the wilderness, potentially the more opportunities you have to view wildlife and to explore the islands.
