Eco Tour
Regular price $300.00There is no better way to explore the beautiful waters of Southwest Florida than by boat. Let Captain Brian share his love for this unique area and show you all that it has to offer. Tours are available from 2-8 hours and you can expect to see many different species of native birds, dolphins and manatees.
- Walk the many miles of pristine sand beaches that Cayo Costa State Park has to offer, as one of the largest barrier islands in Florida. Cayo Costa is accessible only by boat, making it a unique undeveloped island destination filled with wildlife.
- J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1945 through the love, dedication and efforts of Jay Norwood to protect the valuable and important ecosystem on Sanibel Island near his beloved winter home. The Refuge covers 8 square miles and is home to many species of waterfowl, fish and mammals. This sanctuary is integral to the health of the surrounding barrier islands.
- Enjoy historic and beautiful Estero Bay State Park. In December 1966, the northern half of Estero Bay was designated as the state's first aquatic preserve, the Estero Bay Preserve State Park. The southern half of the bay was added to the preserve in 1983. Big Carlos Pass is frequented by large pods of dolphin, and the back bays provide a sanctuary for all kinds of birds and wildlife.
