Capt. Al of Double R treated us to a delightful afternoon on the channel and among the mangrove islands. We first learned to spot and observe the manatees in the harbor. Great care was taken not to disturb them. On the canal we were thrilled to pass a mother manatee and her calf. We stopped by to see a huge... more

Everytime we come to Marco/Naples we make sure we go on this tour. Each time the guide is great and we get to see tons of birds, learn about the mangroves and most importantly enjoy a relaxing day on a boat looking at Florida wildlife the way it is meant to be appreciated. A family of Dolphins zooms past and... more

Someone from the Fish and Game need to monitor these guys and how they observe Manatees. Chasing them in the boats and almost running into them is not cool. Way over priced you can sit from the shore line and see the manatees. more

As an ethical ecotour operator and member of the Save the Manatee Club we conduct each tour in a manner consistant with the federal laws regarding observing these gentle giants. In over 1500 tours we have never chased, corralled or otherwise altered the behavior of the Sea Cow. Our customers observe these mammals from a very safe distance with our...

Last weekend we (husband & I) took visiting friends (mom, dad and kids 13 & 10) down to Naples. These friends are very much into ecotourism and they wanted to see wildlife while checking out another part of the state. Everyone I talked to suggested ‘Double R’s Manatee Eco Nature Tour’ so, after checking their web site for directions, that’s... more

Although the captain and tour guide were very nice, we were exteremly disappointed in this tour. We did see, at a distance, a dolphin, alligator, a manatee and some birds, but we were told we would stop and do shelling and that did not happen. it is was basically a 2 and half hour pontoon boat ride. My kids and... more

The two and a half hour manatee viewing & nature tour started at the Port of the Islands Marina. We took a pontoon boat from the marina into the channel where, within sight of the dock, we spotted our first manatee. The pontoon boats was shaded and extremely stable. I highly recommend this tour for families with small children. We... more
