Summer Schedule As always, we will be open and conducting tours all summer. For the most part, however, we are only operating the morning tours. The afternoon thunder storms put too much of a damper on things. We can schedule an afternoon tour, but the days conditions dictate what we can actually. The afternoon and the multiday tours will begin again in October.
Recent Sightings Several of the rookeries are in high gear with snowy egrets, white herrings, brown pelicans and tri-color herons are still on nests. The many of the chicks have fledged already. The black-neck stilts have all fledged and are off the nests with the rising fresh water. The rosette spoonbills are roosting in their favorite mangroves. There are so many in the mornings that trees look like pink snow cones. Many of the orchid species are blooming as well. Manatees, Dolphins, Loggerhead Turtles, Swallow-Tailed Kites and Bald Eagles are encountered on most every day. Summer is awesome!
Our Newest Location in Goodland - just minutes from Marco Island. We are very excited about our expansion. Goodland allows easier access to the Western 10,000 islands and the Rookery Bay National Marine Esturary. Being right down the road from Marco, we should be able to service our Marco guest easily. With our Kayak Transport Boat moored at the Calusa Marina, we will begin by offering a selection of morning tours & Power Boat ECO Tours, Boat Assisted Kayak ECO tours, Tradition Kayak ECO tours and Kayak Fishing Trips.
