There were only 8 people in our group which was perfect. We went at a slow pace and got to see some cool stuff. Be prepared to get your workout in when the winds are strong in the bay! The tunnels and mangrove trees were so cool to go through! Chandler did an amazing job answering all of my weird nature questions to the best of his ability. Although the tour states that there is a CHANCE you will see wildlife, it is not guaranteed. We did not see many animals besides birds and crabs but obviously the tour guides cannot control that. Also, make sure you bring a towel or pad to sit on! Your butt will get sore after two hours!! I would highly recommend this tour if you are in the area.

We made a reservation for a guided kayak tour out of this park and had a great time! Matt was our…read moreguide, and he did an excellent job! We stopped and landed our kayaks on the banks so he could show us some of the local wildlife, including Lightening Whelk, Horse Conch, Tulip snail, and Cassiopea Jellyfish. We continued on and saw the nesting Ospreys as we made our way to the Mangroves. It was a good 2 or 2.5 hour tour. They offered single or double kayaks at your choice. The ramp at the park was in great shape and made for easy launch and easy landing. The park also has bathroom facilities on the property. Parking is free for local residents, but visitors do pay for parking. Would definitely come back for water sports in the future.

He was very knowledgeable of the 10,000 islands, as well as the animals that encompass them. He found us a large pod of dolphins for us to observe. He was personable and easy to talk with.

A must do when in Marco Island/ Naples!…read more We had a group of nine visiting Marco Island for the first time for a "Girls Trip", I knew we wanted to book a boat cruise, and I am so happy I found Floating turtle cruises! The boats are basically a floating tiki bar. You can book online but called the office bc I had a few questions. Eva is the sweetest and was so helpful and explained everything. She even said if we had any special requests for drinks, they would have them for us. We booked the "Sea Turtle" boat which can hold up to 11 people. The tour is normally 3 hours, and we added an extra hour- which I'm so glad we did! Our boat day was a 10/10. The weather was perfect, our captain, Matt, listened to where we wanted to go, and gave us a customized tour. Not only was there a huge cooler full of beers, seltzers, water, iced teas and sodas, we were given coozies and fun color changing cups to keep. There is also a blue tooth speaker onboard, so we were able to turn out boat into a floating dancefloor! Also included on the boat were beach chairs, pool noodles, and sand toys. We pulled right up to these amazing sand bars where we found beautiful shells. We even saw a few dolphins and a huge school of sting rays. I cannot recommend this tour enough. It's perfect for all ages. Next time I'm in Marco, I will absolutely book again!! Thank you for a fantastic day!

Susan had worked at the reserve for years before starting the business so she knows a LOT about all the wildlife. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the Naples area!!! They have everything you need, including bug spray (which I was very thankful for) to have a delightful time on the water. They even carefully grabbed some crabs and jellyfish to teach us about. Really can't say enough good things! Must do trip!!!

We literally bumped two boats, and it was "funny". I was with my 4 grandchildren. The boat had a broken propeller so we were 20 minutes late going out. Yet they were calling at 4 o'clock, telling the driver to get back. Then the boat ' owner" was a complete jerk.. I mean it was a beat up old boat we didn't do anything wrong!! Just a shit experience!! Such a shame!!! We paid $ 840. For 3 hours. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!!!!

It was pretty easy to reserve for six people for the next day. They were on time, our captain was friendly and knowledgeable about the mangroves, alligators, etc. We had a very nice tour of the area. The biggest differences with who we usually use: We didn't go super fast, spinning around, etc. like we are used to. That part was missed, but I know not all people want to do that. We were not offered headphones to muffle the loudness (that surprised us all, it is very loud). I noticed a couple on our boat had the foam ear inserts that they probably brought themselves. There was no alligator "show" before or after, but they do allow you to hold a small gator they keep in a tank inside. I feel bad for the gator and really hope it gets moved to a bigger space in the off hours. Hope this helps!

I would definitely suggest hitting up this place if you wanna check out a beautiful beach and enjoy some time on the water!
