Tours
are conducted in the Great White Heron National Wildlife
Refuge.
Explore
the tropical mangrove eco-systems; observe osprey, bald eagles,
great blue herons, frigate birds, terns, dolphin,
sea turtles and other fascinating marine inhabitants.
This complex
and interdependent eco-system is also a beautiful nursery
and breeding ground for most of the marine life that
later migrates to the reef.
You
may combine your tour with snorkeling, beachcombing
or a visit to the dolphin playground and
fully appreciate the natural beauty that the Florida
Keys back country has to offer. Shallow water and the
mangrove islands provide calm water, even on windy
days.
The
eco-experience is painlessly educational and includes
not only the natural history of the Florida Keys but
also some myths and truths of local legends. Great
experience for families with kids!
