When you arrive at their address, look for the little shack and picnic table where you can wait. Parking can be tricky, but if you're lucky, the dental office valet may hook you up. We did the 1.5 hour option, which was perfect for us, my in-laws, and our two little ones. Saw the mansions of Port Royal, some dolphins, and then jumped off in Hatch Cove on Keewaydin island for some shell collecting. Captain Chris was fun and knowledgeable. For the price, it's much better to get a small private boat like this over the big boats. Much better experience!

Our captain, Bryant, was super knowledgeable and made us feel not only safe and comfortable but ensured we had an awesome time. He showed us multiple local marinas and islands we would have not known to seek out otherwise. We really enjoyed keewaydin island and felt like locals for the day! Would definitely recommend a day trip with Gulf Breeze Charters!

One thing to note is only 6 people, max, are on the boat. We had 5, 3 of us and 2 others. They have water and snacks on the boat if you want it. Stan asked if we liked any particular music on the way out and we all liked Buffett so it was a great way to head out to keewaydin. On the way he was good at spotting dolphins and we had a few swimming right next to us and came out of the water. Was a really nice surprise on the way out. Upon arrival Stan took our chairs out to where we wanted to set up and put our chairs down and gave us towels with a shell bag. Stan was right in time when we were done with our morning and picked up our chairs. We did bring two umbrellas of our own which fit on his boat. Stan answered our questions and provided insights into various Tricia on the way out and back. He was personable and professional and we had a great experience. This was out 1st time but certainly will not be our last. Highly recommend!

Jackson, specifically, was an exuberant and personable young man. I really enjoyed chatting with him. The Miss Naples tour takes you through Port Royal and then out to the Gulf to see an amazing sunset. The Captain tells you all about the area and plays fun music to set the mood. They have a cash bar offering beers, wines, spritzers and soft drinks, which was quite nice. There is also a small selection of snacks for purchase. We will definitely return with more out of state visitors and local friends. Such a great value for the experience! Thanks again, Captain Dan and First Mate, Jackson!

I was somewhat impressed with the dolphin tour I went on this morning. Captain Steve and First Mate…read moreJoel were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife that lives in the bay. During the tour, I saw a handful of dolphins, which made it worth it. I have two complaints about the experience. First, the tour was way too crowded. I had gone on this tour once in the past, and there were about ten people on the boat. This time around, there were 32 people. This made it incredibly difficult to move around the boat to try and spot dolphins. Moreover, all of us were practically sitting on top of one another. The bench seating couldn't accommodate all of us. My other issue with this tour was the lack of shade. Only the back third of the boat was covered, so sitting in the front was incredibly hot. Most of the other pontoon boats we passed were shaded completely. If you're going to go on this dolphin tour, I'd recommend going earlier in the morning. My 10:00 a.m. tour was far too hot and far too crowded. Also, I'd suggest that you wear sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and clothing that covers your shoulders. If not, prepare to get some sunburn. A full bottle of water or two is also a necessity. Finally, make sure you bring some cash along to tip the captain and first mate.

We checked in at the Ding Darling visitor center. The friendly attendant at the counter informed us the guide/driver is ready for us and to meet her at the tram. We were also given binoculars that were free to borrow with a credit card on hold (we would get charged if we lose them). We boarded the tram about 15 minutes before the tour. The whole tram was full, and every seat was taken, including the front seat in the truck pulling the tram. Kathy, our guide/driver introduced us to the tour and informed potential animals we would see. We were all informed to let her know if we see any potential animals so she can slow down the tram when needed. When we went to the park, we saw various animals including many types of birds, fishes, manatees, and even iguanas. The whole tour lasted about 90 minutes, with a small 10 break to walk and view the observation tower. Kathy did an excellent job explaining about the park, the types of plants and animals, and how the park was affected by the hurricane and other things. She also answered any questions that the guests had. She drove very safely, being cautious of the other vehicles and pedestrians at the park. We were also informed that we could walk around the park after the tour. However, we decided it was too hot to walk a couple miles and left after the tour. The visitor center looked to be undergoing renovations, but the gift shop was open. We bought a shirt that was on sale. The bathrooms were clean and even had information about the various animals we could see. We were also given a brochure as well before the tour. For the price paid, this was a great value. We did get to see various types of animals, plants, and birds. Our guide/driver was friendly, informative, and cautious. Even though the hurricane did some damage to the park, the repairs looked nice and great to see the various wildlife coming back to the park. This was a wonderful tour and a must do when visiting Sanibel Island.
