🌴 Naples, FL
Adventures, beaches, and experiences worth having on the Gulf Coast.
🌿 Featured Attraction
Big Cats, Primates & a Primate Expedition Cruise
Set within the lush grounds of Caribbean Gardens, Naples Zoo is one of Southwest Florida's best family destinations. Lions, cheetahs, Malayan tigers, orangutans, giraffes, zebras, flamingos, and more — plus a Primate Expedition Cruise, Wild Encounters program, guided tours, botanical gardens full of orchids and palms, on-site dining, and a gift shop. Collier County residents get free admission on Saturdays.
A Tropical Paradise in the Heart of Naples
170 acres of lush tropical gardens, themed collections, and nature-based experiences for all ages. With daily guided tours, family programs, the Fogg Café, and rotating exhibitions — it's a full day worth of wonder.
259 Private Acres of Pure Everglades Adventure
Blast across the Everglades on a custom airboat with Coast Guard-licensed captains, then visit the animal sanctuary with gators, otters, turtles, crocodiles, and even tigers. Live alligator shows every hour — and yes, you can hold a baby gator.
A Living Piece of Florida Frontier History
Step back in time at one of Florida's most authentic historic landmarks. Built in 1906 by Ted Smallwood on the remote shores of Chokoloskee Bay, this old trading post served the Seminole Indians and early settlers deep in the Everglades. Now a museum, it's a rare and fascinating glimpse into Old Florida life.
A Legendary Everglades Fishing Lodge
One of Florida's most storied retreats, the Everglades Rod & Gun Club has hosted presidents, celebrities, and adventurers since 1922. Nestled on the banks of the Barron River in Everglades City, it's a one-of-a-kind experience — historic lodge, great fishing, and that deep-Florida atmosphere you can't manufacture.
Jet-Powered Ferry to the Southernmost Point
Skip the drive and sail to Key West in style on a jet-powered catamaran. Departing from Fort Myers Beach (year-round) or Marco Island (seasonal), Key West Express gets you to the Southernmost Point in about 3.5 hours — with a full bar and galley on board. Arrive at 8am, explore all day, and sail back by sunset. A seriously fun day trip from the Naples area.
Sunset Dinners & Sightseeing on the Gulf
Set sail on a luxury yacht right from Port O Call Marina in Naples. The Naples Princess offers daily afternoon and sunset sightseeing cruises, Sea Breeze lunch buffets, and elegant sunset dinner sailings — all with three panoramic decks, two full-service bars, and fresh food from an onboard chef. Private charters available for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations.
Naples' #1 Sailing Charter — Rated by The New York Times
Naples' premier sailing charter since 1991, departing from Crayton Cove in Old Naples. Choose from a Sunset Cruise, Beach Island Shelling trip, afternoon sightseeing sail, or jump aboard the Sweet Tiki — a 6-passenger floating tiki bar that cruises out to Keewaydin Island. The 53' Gold Coast catamaran holds up to 44 passengers, and private charters are available for any occasion.
The Smallest Operating Post Office in the United States
Blink and you'll miss it — but you'd regret it. Sitting roadside on the Tamiami Trail deep in the Everglades, the Ochopee Post Office measures just 61 square feet and was never meant to be a post office at all. It started life as an irrigation shed on a tomato farm before a 1953 fire took out the real one, and it's been stamping mail ever since. Fully operational, quietly legendary, and worth every mile. Ask the staff to cancel a letter with the Ochopee postmark — a one-of-a-kind Florida keepsake.
