The 10,000 Islands Excursion, arguably, 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 two-part:
The first part is a slow, intimate boating tour among the remote islands of the refuge. 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. All the while, your formally trained naturalist guide will talk to you about the area's ecosystems, its long history and rich culture.
The second part of your excursion is an exploration of a remote barrier island beach ... an island that you only can reach by boat ... an island that few get to experience. Learn about beach dynamics; stroll through the tidal flats and wade the tidal pools of these remote islands. If you enjoy shelling, imaging shelling on islands that are NOT picked daily by 100's of people.
With your naturalist guide, learn not about individual shell animals, but actually learn "how to" shell.
