The welcome before the tour and the captain (Capt. Marco) were outstanding, great insights shared, made the tour very entertaining. Mother Nature did the rest, the inlets, the mangroves and all the wildlife is spectacular. Thanks for a great tour!
Captain Lloyd seemed to really love the dolphins and what he does. They really responded to him and put on a show, chasing our wake for almost 10 minutes. It was well worth the price of the ticket!
Captain Lloyd was safe driver, he made you feel super comfortable walking on the boat to different vantage points and he was full of information about the islands eco systems and wildlife. Super friendly guy!!
This was a fantastic experience! We saw a lot of dolphins jumping and our guide was super knowledgeable.
Dean, thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on your dolphin tour with us! Seeing dolphins jumping in their natural habitat is always an incredible experience, and we’re glad our guide’s knowledge helped make the adventure even more memorable. Thank you for choosing Florida Adventures and Rentals, Dean. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the Ten Thousand Islands soon! Kind regards, The Florida Adventures and Rentals Team.
Highly experienced captain (Lloyd) and extremely knowledgeable naturalist (Dylan). Their excitement in being out on the water viewing the marine life was palpable. We saw many dolphins, a shark, a sting ray, ospreys, brown pelicans, and a roseate spoonbill. Great trip. Would book it again the next time we are in the area.
Captain Lloyd took us on a real adventure - hold onto your hats! - we had a blast motoring around the Ten Thousand Islands area hearing all the stories about the sea life, the islands and mangroves - we saw a lot of dolphins and Lloyd was careful and respectful around them - he also took us to a great secluded beach for some shells to bring home - it’s legal to collect them here - all in all a great experience and highly recommended

We especially appreciate you mentioning Lloyd’s care and respect around the wildlife—protecting these incredible animals while allowing our guests to observe them in their natural environment is extremely important to us.

Captain Lloyd and Dylan were excellent tour leaders, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We frequently saw dolphins jumping and playing behind the boat. Also saw a lot of native birds and even a sea turtle!!

We wanted to get out on the water and this was a perfect way to explore the thousand islands! Dolphins were out and putting on a show!!! It was nice to have a small group of 7 in our boat. Captain Colleen and Dillon were WONDERFUL! They were so relaxed yet excited to share their massive knowledge and experience with all thousand islands creatures we encountered. So fun to hear their stories! Colleen IS The Dolphin Whisperer and Dillon has such interesting facts about dolphins and wildlife from his extensive research throughout the Caribbean! How lucky we were to stumble upon them! What a beautiful day! Do not hesitate to book with them. Thank you Colleen and Dillon!
Mary, thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a beautiful day exploring the Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Colleen and Dylan. It sounds like the dolphins really put on a show for you! We love that the smaller group allowed you to enjoy a more personal experience while learning about the incredible wildlife and ecosystem of the area. Colleen and Dylan are both incredibly passionate about what they do, and their knowledge, stories, and enthusiasm make every wildlife encounter that much more meaningful. We’ll definitely make sure the “Dolphin Whisperer” hears about her new title! 😊 And we’re so glad Dylan’s wildlife knowledge and research added another special dimension to your experience. Thank you for your wonderful recommendation and for choosing Florida Adventures and Rentals, Mary. We feel just as lucky that you found us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Ten Thousand Islands adventure! Kind regards, The Florida Adventures and Rentals Team.
Amazing experience once again! This was our fourth summer doing a tour and we were so impressed yet again. From the friendly service, to the knowledgeable insights, and the incredible relationship with the dolphins. Thank you so much for loving what you do and sharing it with us. We were fortunate to see three different pods today, as well as several manatees. Captain Colleen and Kathleen — THANK YOU SO MUCH from your Lake Havasu, AZ couple.
Gary, thank you so much for another incredible review! Four summers of adventures with us is truly special, and we can’t thank you both enough for continuing to make Florida Adventures and Rentals part of your visits to Marco Island. It sounds like Captain Colleen and Kathleen gave you another amazing day on the water! Seeing three different dolphin pods along with several manatees is certainly a memorable Ten Thousand Islands experience. We especially appreciate your comments about our team’s passion for the wildlife—we genuinely love what we do and love being able to share it with our guests. We’ll be sure to pass along your big THANK YOU to Colleen and Kathleen! From all of us here in Marco Island, thank you to our Lake Havasu couple for four years of support and wonderful memories. We’ll be ready for summer number five! 😊 Kind regards, The Florida Adventures and Rentals Team.
