Dolphin, Birding & Shelling Boat Tour from Marco Island
This adventure tour is for the entire family and is a great introduction to the area. Led by a formally trained, interpretive naturalist, these tours are an eco-educational experience to learn about eco-systems, the area's rich heritage and long history. The experience is limited to a maximum of twelve guests, so you can expect an intimate experience in the wilderness with your guide.
In comfortable captain's style seating and an iced cooler, you will be safely brought deep into the 10,000 Islands for a interpretive tour of the area. Depending on the season, you can expect to encounter manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, herons, egrets, pelicans, alligators, rosette spoonbills, as well as numerous species of fish and shore birds.
These tours are never "canned," so each tour is different. The area's wildlife move around in order to exist in their world and so must you. Many species are seasonal and inhabit different areas in different environmental conditions, so too, you must be able to adapt. Bring your snacks, favorite drinks, hats, sunglasses and have a great time!!
