Keewaydin Island Shelling, Dolphin and Beach Experience

Embark on a 3-hour journey through the pristine backwaters of Naples with the Keewaydin Island Shelling, Dolphin and Beach Experience—one of Southwest Florida’s top-rated eco-tours. Departing from Naples Bay Resort and Marina, this all-ages adventure glides past multimillion-dollar estates along the Gordon River before entering the mangrove-lined Big Marco River, where dolphins, bald eagles, and roseate spoonbills are frequently spotted. Led by expert captains, guests are transported to remote stretches of Keewaydin Island to search for rare shells like Junonia and Banded Tulips on untouched sugar-sand beaches.

Tours are offered as private, semi-private, or shared experiences, with flexible vessel options ranging from a luxury tri-toon to a 26-passenger tiki boat. Shelling bags and bottled water are provided, with guests encouraged to bring snacks, beverages, sunscreen, and a camera to capture the day. Whether you're visiting Naples for the first time or a local seeking a new adventure, this immersive outing delivers nature, relaxation, and discovery in one unforgettable experience.
