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!

Oh, you want to go to Keewaydin?…read more I would rent a boat. I would also recommend purchasing a boat, if you have the means. If you do not have a boat, there are plenty to rent - coming from Naples that is. I'm sure Marco Island has boats too. Don't like boats? Get personal with a jet ski or...stand up paddle board? Just don't plan on walking there. I would arrive early. When the weather is nice, the non-gulf side unofficial watercraft parking lot fills up quickly. I must have gone up and down the bay side 7 or 8 times trying to muster the gusto to park my rental boat in between (what looked like) very expensive, very owned boats. Even tried to park a boat in water thats moving? You can't inch up to it...its all or nothing. Good luck. Should you prove conservative in your boat parking endeavor, the "gulfish" side has plenty of room to throw and anchor and swim up. There are too many people swimming on that side to ram a boat up the shore. This is the route we opted for. Note: make sure your anchor is secure. Otherwise, you will be eating tuna from a pouch and having hummus and pita chips in such a nonchalant fashion that you won't really notice you are drifting....into the sandbar. That area is very not deep. Get on the island, hang at the beach, grab shells, and mingle with other boat people. Observe the many happy puppies in the water. Visit the food boat and enjoy burgers, grouper, and beer. Look to the gulf side and you can see into forever. Look on the bay side and I challenge you to find a car or truck (or road) anywhere nearby. As busy as it is at times, it is very peaceful. While we were here, the weather was stellar, the storms were to the north (Naples) and we had a fantastic show to watch while still basking in the warm sun's warm sunny warming glow. Now reapply your sunscreen, because your back (like mine) will get burnt in very little time. Keewaydin is a clear watered, soft sanded, and very relaxing escape from the 'ness of everyday life. Be on a boat. Escape the 'ness. Go to Keewaydin.

WOW! What an Island! After renting a boat we decided to spend our day here and we could not have…read morehad more fun! This spot has everything to offer from Flat Soft White Sand, Oodles and Oodles of Seashells, Starfish Sightings, Pup Friendly, and FOOD BOATS!! Yes you heard correct; a handful of Food Boats anchor up at this Island for your enjoyment! This Island itself is 7 miles long with endless actives to do! Most people bring their own entertainment such as Games- Grills- Booze- you can pretty much bring anything you want to fill your day! I would recommend taking Beach Chairs, Your Furry Baby, Umbrella, Frisbee, Any kind of Water Sport Games, and an Endless Supply of Booze & Snacks! Everyone was super friendly and interacted with each other! The Island does get pretty busy by 3pm we were side by side with boats lined up and down the whole River Side! On the Island you have the River Side aka where all the boats anchor up and then on the other side is the beach. There are trails that go from one side to the next; Be Very Careful of the small Thorny Stickers! They like bare feet and will cling onto you! We found so many different shells, sand dollars, and starfish on the beach side! There is a small sandbar also over there making for a leisurely walk in the Ocean! The Food Boats!!! This is the first time I have ever experienced a Food Boat and by how much I love Food Trucks I was over the top excited to see these! They sell anything and everything from Ice Cream, Brats, Burgers, Grouper Sandwich, Chicago Dogs, French Fries, Nachos, Grilled Cheese, Bloody Mary's, Long Island Iced Tea, Rum Runners, Beer, and Much Much More! The drinks are strong and the prices are great! Much better than Food Truck prices in SoFL! Most all of them accept cards! In a nutshell we had an absolute blast and if we lived on the West Coast this would be a weekend event for us for sure! You can not miss such an Awesome, Beautiful, Scenic Island! You are sure to have an amazing day!!

Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center is an amazing destination for history and nature lovers…read moreof all ages. The center sits within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which covers more than 110,000 acres of mangrove forests, upland habitats, and estuarine waters. In addition to board walks and hiking trail it has a two-story, 16,500-square-foot facility that combines research, education, art, and conservation. Start your visit inside the learning center where there is a 2,300-gallon mangrove aquarium with a sculpted 14-foot red mangrove tree. Another highlight is the touch tank where visitors can hold sea stars, horseshoe crabs, sea urchins, and more. There are also exhibits on local ecology and ongoing research in the estuary with emphasis on human impact on nature. A favorite stop on the first floor was the Palmetto Patch Nature Store which featured a variety of nature themed and local made gifts. They also sell water which you will need for a hike if you forgot to bring it. Proceeds from the store go to the Friends of Rookery Bay and their mission to provide resources for Rookery Bay Research Reserve's education, research, and conservation programs. Behind the center there are three half mile walking trails including a boardwalk over Henderson Creek. Thousands of years ago this was the home of the ancient Calusa people that thrived on seafood from the estuary. Although they are extinct you can still see the shell mounds they built. Several Calusa mound complexes are protected within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve's 110,000 acres. From the observation bridge, you can sometimes spot manatees, tarpon, or even sharks. The trails also passes through native plants and historic sites like the remains of the pioneer settlement Little Marco that lay between Marco Island and Naples. The community was sparked by the Homestead act and pre dated the City of Naples. People lived off the estuary, catching fish, harvesting shellfish, and also growing small plots of winter vegetables. A historic cemetery remains near what is now known as Shell Island Road. The Rookery Bay Environmental Reserve is doing important ecological research and conservation while providing public education about coastal ecosystems, climate impacts, and habitat preservation. If you're a nature lover, looking for an inexpensive family friendly activity, or someone curious about coastal ecosystems, the environmental learning center is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
