Great Family Experience
Excellent experience! We got to see dolphins, LOTS of nesting birds, and had the best time finding some special shells to bring home! Our guide was wonderful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had the best time!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Taylor, for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear your family had such a great time on our Sunset Eco Tour. Seeing dolphins, discovering nesting birds throughout the Ten Thousand Islands, and finding special shells to take home is exactly the kind of experience we love sharing with our guests.

A sunset to behold!
Evening tour is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Dolphins 🐬 were active and provided lots of photoshooting opportunities. From the various flocks of birds, to the protective vegetation and uninhabited islands, this experience is one to remember. The culmination of the evening with a stunning sunset is something to behold.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the beautiful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Sunset Eco Tour and experienced so much of what makes the Ten Thousand Islands so special. From active dolphins putting on a show to the incredible birdlife, mangroves, and remote islands, every evening out there feels a little different. Of course, ending the trip with one of our famous Marco Island sunsets makes the experience even more unforgettable. We’re glad you captured some amazing photos and memories along the way. Thank you again for choosing Florida Island Tours. We hope to welcome you back for another sunset adventure soon! 🐬🌅

Amazing and intimate sunset cruise!
This was a 2.5 hour sunset cruise with Nate, it was fantastic! It was three of us, my best friend, her Mom, and Nates pup HoneyBear. Beautiful photos, bird sightings, seashell collecting, dolphins, and a beautiful sunset.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Rhonda! That sounds like such a special evening, and we’re so glad you chose to spend it with us. It was a pleasure having you, your best friend, and her mom out on the water. Those smaller, intimate sunset trips really make it easy to slow down and enjoy everything—from the birds and shells to those unforgettable dolphin moments. And of course, HoneyBear loved having you along too 🐾 We’re so happy you were able to capture beautiful photos and end the night with a perfect Marco Island sunset. Hope we get to have you back out again soon! — Florida Island Tours 🌴🐬

Amazing sunset tour of 10,000 islands
My husband and I had a great experience on our sunset ecological tour of 10,000 islands. Captain Nate was very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly and helpful. His dog Honeybear was an added bonus! The small pod of dolphins playing as they followed the wake of our boat was the highlight of the tour!!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Sklaub, for the kind words! Florida Island Tours is so glad you and your husband had such a great time on the sunset eco tour. Captain Nate loves sharing the Ten Thousand Islands, and it sounds like you caught one of those perfect moments with dolphins playing in the wake. That never gets old. Honeybear definitely enjoys being part of the experience, too, and always seems to steal the show a little. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to have you back out on the water again soon for another Marco Island boat tour adventure. 🌅🐬🐾

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands?
+
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 Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands?
+
Around 13 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset Eco Tour of Marco Island & 10,000 Islands 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.
