About Florida Island Tours and our manatee eco tours

Florida Island Tours is a top-rated manatee eco-tour company in Marco Island Florida near Naples Florida. We specialize in low-impact, naturalist-guided eco-boat tours of wild manatees in their natural environment.

Our boats are specially equipped to get up close to manatees without disturbing them while they go about their daily routines of swimming, eating and playing. We typically see manatees on every tour, with the rare occurence without a sighting due to weather. This past year we have seen manatees on 99.7% of our tours and seen manatees within 10 feet of the boat on 92% of our tours.

Our captains are all certified master captains by the US Coast Guard. Also, all eco tour narration is given by Master Naturalists trained by the University of Florida. Naples Manatee Tours is also a member of the Florida Society for Ethical Ecotourism, as well as the International Ecotourism Society. A portion of proceeds for every manatee tour is donated to the Save the Manatee foundation.
