Things to do on Veteran's Day in Naples (Updated 2026)

Captain Kerrick gave us lots of great info on Goodland, Marco Island and the whole of the ten thousand islands. We learned all about the local wildlife and sea life. We went out early and visted 2 islands just after low tide. We found all the shells we were looking for including lettered olives, welks, tulips, murax, angle wings, sun rays and so many fighting conchs. I even found a sharks eye shell. On the return trip back to the marina we had a small pod of dolphins ride in our wake. The whole experience was 10/10.

Great tour . Very funny and friendly guide.

We a great experience, tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dolphins also kept everyone entertained

Small group, was very nice. Sean as guide was awesome. Would do it again next time in the area.

Wow, it was a wonderful experience, first time in Marco Island. 10 thousand islands is a must, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, he stopped when we were interested to see something, he was friendly and respectful. Watching the dolphins was the cutest thing and he made sure we did took our pictures and videos, he even recommended us the time to take it while he was driving.

Glenn knows Marco Island and its history, from the beginning to what famous people live where now. The best part was seeing examples of the wildlife that aren’t found most places.

Amazing trip!! Very courteous and helpful.

Great experience. For the life of me, I cannot remember our guides name. She was knowledgeable about the area. Her love of nature was evident in everything she said and did. She even stopped, got off her paddleboard, pulled an upside down jellyfish out of the water so we could see it upclose ( it was beautiful!).

daves was exelent we don't speak english and he give us a wonderful trip thank David

Mike was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing. He's very knowledgeable on the wild life and patient. He is definitely a must have on future tour guides. Fyi Mike was able to have my family experience a few sharks and dolphins!

I’m a Clinical Supervisor for Southwest Florida Oral & Facial Surgery, and I brought a group of about 20 of our staff members here for a team-building activity. We could not have asked for a better experience!Mike was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. He was extremely responsive, quick to provide all of the information I needed, and made coordinating everything for a large group so easy.Our tour guide, Doug, was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable, informative, personable, and made the entire experience so much fun for our group. He did a great job making sure everyone felt comfortable and included, and we had such a great time out on the water.Our staff had an amazing time, and this was exactly the kind of team-building experience we were looking for. I would highly recommend Mike’s Coastal Expeditions to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and memorable experience. We will definitely be back! 🌴🛶☀️

Our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and down right a pleasure to be with, the tour itself was perfect and relaxing without being overly strenuous. Great way to get in touch with the nature that Marco Island has to offer. Looking forward to coming back and doing it again.. Never gets old

Start finish was great! The duration was perfect. We had “pedal kayaks”, which was unexpected and a lot easier and more fun than paddling the whole time.Learned a lot about the area, could hear our guide well as long as we stayed parallel or in front of him. Got to see a few local creatures, no no manatees or dolphins but nothing‘s ever promised. Our guide was a lot of fun, funny, and never a dull moment. Plus he took and shared pictures that would’ve otherwise been hard to get ourselves. Thanks Chandler for making it a great family experience!

Joey was our captain. He was knowledgeable and a fun guide. We enjoyed seeing dolphins and shelling on the beach.

This was a great little cruise! Braxton was very attentive with keeping us hydrated and was very friendly. Henry was a great Captain. He was very informative. We were able to see manatees, dolphins, and many different types of birds along with the beautiful homes along the way to Keewaydin Island. Once we got to the island we found some nice shells and even a manatee in the water! Jeff and Tami Reed Tom and Mary Marshall

Went to celebrate Mothers Day. It was the perfect activity for a Sunday afternoon. Rode was smooth, narration and music were enjoyable. Look forward to doing this again.
