“If you have the chance to have Vicky as your guide, jump on it! She is personable, knowledgeable, passionate and just terrific! We went on 2/20/2025 with about 8 people and spent 1 1/2 hours with her! The inside of the building has gorgeous tanks filled with all kinds of sea creatures! And don’t miss the 10 minute movie! This was an exceptional experience! Highly suggest bringing your kids!”

“Tonight's sunset cruise was amazing. Our guide was knowledgable and entertaining and our captain was exceptional at finding lots of wildlife for us to see and photograph. We saw dolphins, osprey, eagles, egrets, herons, cormorants, pelicans, and roseatte spoonbills.”

“Can no longer access through Marco Island. It’s a private gated community now. Guards advise going to 300 Tower Rd. Naples, FL for access. These 2 addresses are not close to each other, but not too far.”

“Salt Life! We are so blessed to have such splendor in our midst! If you take the time to play in the bays and on the Gulf, you will find a place that you're going to call your ZEN place and there you will find God's glory!”

“Beautiful place if you are into wildlife and nature. Thousands of shells on the sand so wear shoes or your feet will get a lot of small cuts. Nesting area for the Black Skimmer so walk carefully and enjoy!”
