The ELC boat tour was absolutely fantastic. The guide Willie and the boat captain, Marty were incredibly informative, and you could truly feel their love for the Indian River Lagoon in every story they shared. The highlight of the evening was watching the birds fly into Pelican Island to roost for the night—an unforgettable sight. The beautiful sunset made the entire experience even more magical.
