Dolphin Tours Fort Myers Beach: Gulf of Mexico WildlifeA two-hour guided boat tour from Fort Myers Beach explores Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in search of dolphins, manatees and sea turtles, which are regularly encountered on these trips. The tour includes a live guide speaking English and bottled water. Infants sit on an adult's lap; service animals are welcome, and the trip suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Small groups and families with children work well here since infants can sit on a lap and the boat stays on the water the whole time—no transfers, no walking, just two hours watching wildlife from the deck.
