Dolphin Tours in Cape Coral

We love to show you the local wildlife around including our world famous population of dolphins.  And if we're lucky we may see some manatees, sea turtles, rays, Osprey and all the other wonderful creatures we often see on our excursions.

Come on a dolphin tour in Cape Coral and see the wide variety of wildlife Southwest Florida has to offer. We takes you through the sounds, rivers, mangrove creeks and bays.  These private tours are custom designed to your interest. Don’t forget your camera!  Polarized sunglasses will enhance the experience by allowing you to see the wide variety of life living in the shallow water flats of Pine Island Sound.

Bottlenose Dolphins also use sound for communication, including squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body language, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water surface.
