2 Hour Dolphin, Birding and Shelling Tour
Not only will you be introduced to the great birding and wildlife in the area by your naturalists guide, you will also learn about the eco-systems, it rich heritage and long history. Our tours are never "canned", so each tour is different. The area's wildlife move around in order to exist in their world and so must we. Many species are seasonal and inhabit different areas in different environmental conditions, so too, we must be able to adapt. Bring your cameras, binoculars, snacks, favorite drinks, hats, sunglasses and have a great time!!
Visit an uninhabited barrier island beach to collect shells, sand dollars and other treasures!
Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.
