Description

from 10,000 Islands Boat Excursion
The 10,000 Islands Excursion is the best way to experience the natural world around Marco Island. Conducted within the 10,000 Islands Wildlife Refuge, you will experience what many describe as The Best of Florida.

The tour is a two-part experience. The first part is a slow, intimate boating tour amongst the Ten Thousand Islands remote islands. While you search for dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles, you may encounter ospreys, bald eagles, ibis, roseate spoonbill, egrets, herons, and any number of shorebird species. Your formally trained Florida Master Naturalist guide will talk to you about the area's ecosystems, history, and rich culture.

The second part of your excursion is exploring a remote barrier island beach, an island you can only reach by boat, an island few get to experience. Learn about beach dynamics; stroll through the tidal flats and wade the tidal pools of these remote islands.

Imagine shelling on islands that are NOT picked over daily by hundreds of people. With your naturalist guide, learn about individual shell animals and "how to" shell from your Shelling Guru.

This is an excellent "hands-on" experience for the young and old alike. Your naturalist guide will facilitate parents and grandparents wanting to be educators.

This is not a typical preprogrammed tour. Every day and every tour can be different, so discuss the possibilities with your guide. This tour is approximately 3.5 hours and departs twice daily at 8:30AM and 1:30PM. Advanced reservations are required. Don't forget your cameras!
