Tours and Activities on Sanibel and Captiva

The most popular bookable tours here are on the water: shelling cruises to sandbars and out islands that are better than any beach you can drive to, dolphin-watching and sunset cruises, and guided kayak trips through the mangroves of the Ding Darling refuge. Many leave from Captiva or from marinas on the mainland around Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island Sound.

The cards below come live from Viator and Tiqets, sorted into the area each one belongs to. Many of the best experiences on the islands need no booking at all, such as the beaches, the bike paths and Wildlife Drive, so use the area pages for the places worth seeing on your own.
