A must-do attraction while staying with Sun Palace is a Fort Myers sunset cruise. There is nothing like being out on the open ocean with the clear waters and sea breezes running past. However, the experience is heightened when you go out during the evening. As the sun sets over the ocean, you will get the most spectacular views of the magnificent melting sky from on board a Fort Myers sunset cruise boat. Along with the sunset views, you will most likely also get a glimpse of a friendly dolphin or maybe even a whole pod! Here are some Fort Myers sunset cruises to embark upon during your vacation.
Who to Choose for Your Fort Myers Sunset Cruise
Adventures in Paradise
Adventures in Paradise offers a sunset dolphin and wildlife cruise for a tranquil coast along the waters in Fort Myers. The sunsets around Sanibel and Captiva Island will shimmer along the water, creating an enchanting scene as the water fades from blue to gold. The dolphins will be battling for your attention as well as the sunset, jumping alongside the boat as you glide into the horizon.
Estero Bay Express Dolphin & Sunset Boat Tours

You can bring along your own cocktails to liven up the evening and enjoy your time sailing the golden glow of the waters.
