Best Fort Myers Dolphin Tours
Estero Bay Express II
Welcome aboard the Estero Bay Express II, a 40 foot sun-seeker tour boat that departs from Fish Tale Marina and gives you an up close look at Estero Bay’s dolphins.

All Island Watersports
All Island Watersports is a unique way to meet the dolphins if you also love a little thrill. You’ll be able to drive your own powerful Yamaha Waverunner into the Gulf, led by a guide, and literally place yourself right next to the dolphins. They love to swim beside fast boats, after all! Past guests have raved about this experience and it is one of the most highly recommended Fort Myers Dolphin Tours.
