Kayak Amongst the Mangroves
Kayaking with Greg thru the mangroves was a nice experience. Even though we did not see dolphin or manatees, we did see several birds and schools of fish. Kayaking is a great workout so u truly enjoyed it and recommend to others. Would come earlier in the morning next time.

A must try at least once!
Excellent tour! We didn’t get to see any manatee, but we did see dolphins. Nothing is guaranteed, it all depends on divine timing. Our guide, Justin, was fabulous and full of fun facts! It’s great to see someone young and full of passion. We will definitely take this tour again in the future. Thanks Justin!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had such an excellent experience with Justin and were able to spot dolphins along the way! His passion for Florida wildlife and enthusiasm for sharing what he knows really add to the adventure. We truly appreciate your understanding that wildlife sightings can vary from tour to tour, and we're happy you enjoyed your time on the water. Thank you for choosing Three Brothers Boards, and we'd love to have you join us again in the future!

Beautiful and fun morning paddle boarding!
Wow, what a beautiful start to our Sunday morning! We enjoyed an amazing and informative stand up paddle tour with our terrific guide Greg. He made sure everyone was comfortable with our boards and got us all upright and paddling from the beginning of our tour. I learned a lot about the wildlife and vegetation in our area as well. It was truly an enjoyable adventure and the boards were very high quality. I would do this again!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had such a beautiful start to your Sunday morning paddleboarding in Marco Island with Greg. His knowledge and guidance are especially helpful for making sure everyone feels comfortable and confident on the boards from the start.

Thank you for choosing Three Brothers Boards, and we'd love to have you back for another adventure!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 282 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP?
+
Around 99 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dolphin and Manatee Tour of Marco Island by Kayak or SUP start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
Naples is the launch point for Everglades airboat rides and Ten Thousand Islands boat tours, along with shelling trips, sunset sails off the pier and small-group food walks downtown. On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marco Island and Naples Pedal or Paddle Kayak Tour, Mangrove Tunnels & Mudflats Kayak Tour - Local Biologist Guides, Manatees and Mangrove Tunnels Small Group Kayak Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
November to April, the dry season with the best wildlife viewing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
