Marco Island Dolphin Tours

Our boat tours depart from Goodland Boating Park, 750 Palm Point Drive, Goodland, FL 34140. Daily vehicle parking is $10; follow the posted QR-code payment instructions. Vehicles displaying a valid Collier County Resident Beach Parking Permit are exempt from the daily vehicle-parking fee. Check the posted signs and your booking confirmation for current instructions.

Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure for check-in, paperwork and the safety briefing. Late arrival may reduce your tour time or cause you to miss the departure. Complete your waivers in advance and allow time for parking.

Yes. Use the waiver link in your booking confirmation email. Each adult must sign their own waiver; a parent or legal guardian signs for minors. Please finish these before you arrive, as limited cell service at the marina can slow check-in.

Our boat experiences range from two to eight hours, depending on the tour or private arrangement. Many popular outings last two to three hours. Check your selected experience for its total duration, which includes boat travel and any beach stops.

Cancel at least 48 hours before departure for a full refund. Within 48 hours, guest cancellations are not refundable, but we are happy to help with rescheduling. If we cancel for unsafe weather and you cannot reschedule, we issue a full refund.

A brief Florida shower may not prevent the tour from operating. Your captain assesses the actual conditions and may adjust the route, delay departure or reschedule when necessary. Please contact us if you have questions about your departure rather than assuming it is cancelled.

Nearby lightning or unsafe winds can lead to a delay, route change or cancellation. Your captain makes the operating decision based on conditions. We do not operate tours during nearby lightning.

If weather ends your tour before the halfway point, you may qualify for a partial refund. After more than half the tour has been completed, refunds are not available; instead, we can offer an opportunity to return on another day, subject to availability. Contact our team about the arrangements for your specific trip.

All ages are welcome, including infants who weigh at least 20 pounds under our company safety policy. Our crew must be able to provide and properly fit a suitable U.S. Coast Guard-approved infant life jacket before departure. Please tell us about infants when booking.

On our U.S. Coast Guard-inspected tour boats, children are not routinely required to wear life jackets while underway in normal conditions. Properly sized, approved life jackets are available, and parents may choose to have children wear them. Everyone must follow the captain’s instructions, including any direction to put on a life jacket. Requirements can differ on other vessels; confirm the arrangements for your booking.

Bring water shoes, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and a camera. For a longer outing, consider sandwiches, snacks or a picnic-style lunch. A light jacket or sweatshirt is useful in cooler months. Check your chosen tour for any additional recommendations.

Complimentary bottled water and a cooler with ice are provided. You are welcome to bring snacks and your favorite beverages, including adult beverages. Please choose cans or plastic containers instead of glass.

Yes. Our tour boats have covered passenger seating that provides shade during the ride. Coverage varies by vessel, and beach stops are exposed, so bring sun protection for the whole outing.

Our boats do not have onboard restrooms. Please use the marina’s restroom facilities before departure.

Gratuity is not included in your booking. Tips are always appreciated by our captains, guides, crew and rental team. If you would like to leave a tip, cash is recommended.
