Our family group of 22 people (ranging in ages from 15 to 85) will be in Marco Island over the Thanksgiving holiday week. We are looking for an occasional activity such as touring the Everglades or taking a dinner cruise. Any suggestions for us? Thank you!

We just returned from Marco. We went on a sunset dinner cruise on the Marco Princess. I recommend the cruise. Food was very good and take your camera to take pictures of the dolphins and the sunset. We stayed at the Marriott and they had a sailing trip that took you to a deserted island to find seashells--it was very nice. Went to the everglades last trip--nice but make sure to take spray or the mosquitos wont let you alone. Have a great trip.

I agree with the Marco Island Princess suggestion. My brother-in-law just had his wedding reception on the Marco Island Princess in early May - it was VERY nice and the food was excellent.

I can also recommend the restaurant at the Olde Marco Island Inn. We had a fantastic Sunday Brunch on Mothers' Day.

Thank you so much for your responses. The dinner cruise sounds like something we will definitely do!

You are very close to the Everglades city visitors center. Take the back road over the Goodland bridge to highway 41. Take the tour boat at the visitor center.
