Itinerary
When you arrive at the park, you will be instructed by a crew member where to park, how to get a parking pass, and where to wait for the tour. You will be waiting in the shaded pavilion area until called for your tour. If you are not approached or you do not hear your name called, please find a crew member in one of our company shirts, they say Florida Adventures and Rentals on them. Your group will be brought down to the dock and assisted to board the boat. Your captain will do a safety briefing and your tour will begin. Our 3 Hour Ecotours travel all around the islands south of Marco Island and stop on one of the isolated islands for about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. Your crew will provide you with interesting facts and information about the ecosystem, history, and wildlife you come across throughout the tour. As you are walking the beach looking for shells, your captain and guide will assist in finding shells or answer any questions you may have. You are also welcome to swim, just ask your crew the best/safe place to do so. The tour will start and end at the same park location. Please note tours may start a few minutes late or end a few minutes late depending on the amount of activity at the dock as this is a public boat ramp and dock.
