The Everglades National Park Birding, Wildlife and Photo Expedition is a 3 1/2 hour, naturalist-led, boating experience in the Park. We have regularly been encoutering manatees, dolphins, loggerhead turtles and many, many species of birds. However, the ospreys are particularly special right now. These raptors mate for life and return each year to the same nest to raise theiryoung. The adults are busy now with nests construction and courtship. It is common to see an adult land on a mangrove tree and violently tear of a branch and bring it back the nest where it carefully weaves it in place. Lots of great photo opportunites on this tour.
Our most popular tour, The Boat Assisted Kayak Eco Tour is now available from Marco Island and Everglades National Park! There are wonderful areas for birding and wildlife around Marco. A power boat and very stable kayaks are an excellent platform for viewing and photography. This intimate tour only has space for six guests so reservations are required for the two daily departures (9:00 and 1:30). For more information click here
Four additional experiences are available from Marco Island:
Marco Island Dolphin & Wildlife Boat Tour – (2 hrs)
Marco 10,000 Islands Boat Excursion – (3.5 hrs)
Marco Rockery Bay Kayak Eco Tour
Marco Keewaydin Beach Kayak Eco Tour

Both include 'how-to' and 'where-to' fish, marine facilities, lodging and food, and a listing of local professional fishing guides. And, as a bonus, there's lots of information about fish species (and how to catch them), tackle, rigging, hiring a guide, party boats, and a list of offshore reefs and wrecks (with GPS coordinates). Find the books at local tackle shops and book stores, and from Amazon.com
