Things to Do in Marco Island, Florida

Marco Island Safari Truck Tour

The Best Things to Do in Marco Island

Spend the day soaking up the sun on Marco Island’s beautiful white-sand beaches, or head out on the water with a boat tour to explore the Gulf of Mexico and the Ten Thousand Islands, where you can enjoy world-class shelling and dolphin watching. Because these landscapes are so iconic, many visitors schedule a professional beach photography session to capture their family’s milestones against the backdrop of the Gulf’s famous sunsets.

For a change of scenery, many travelers also pair their island time with Everglades airboat tours, offering a fast-paced look at Florida’s iconic wetlands and wildlife just a short drive away. Rent a boat to discover the secluded shores of Keewaydin Island, join a fishing charter to reel in local catches, or get your adrenaline pumping with water sports adventures like parasailing or a WaveRunner rental. 

For a fun way to get around on land, rent an e-bike to explore at your own pace, or hop aboard the Marco Island Safari Truck Tour for a breezy, open-air sightseeing adventure through celebrity neighborhoods and wildlife hotspots. Families will also find plenty of fun kid-friendly activities, from banana boat rides to eco-tours that showcase the region’s unique wildlife. As the day comes to a close, a sunset cruise offers stunning views of the Gulf, making for an unforgettable finish to your island adventure.
