The 6 Hour Excursion Tour is private and personal. With a maximum of 7 in your group it begins at 9AM. A 35 min. boat ride along the inter-coastal waterway will bring us to a remote island just 4 miles off the coast. Along the way we'll see all kinds of marine life and the different habitats they live in. The Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin is most commonly encountered of all. They sometimes swim along side the boat, almost close enough to touch.
Just before we get to the Island the tubing rides begin. It's actually more like riding a wing then a tube. I've heard riders compare it to some of the best roller coaster rides they've been on.
If you survive the tubing rides you get to go snorkeling. Off the beach you'll encounter spider crabs, schools of minnow, maybe some stingrays, and at the right time of year, manatee have been encountered in as little as 4 feet of water. Some fallen trees have made a perfect habitat for sheep head, blue crab, and many other sea creatures to be seen.
And if you like to collect seashells you'll be in heaven. There are tones of shells, coral, sand dollars, and sea sponges to collect. The rule is," No Live Shelling" everything else is up for grabs.
When you get hungry let Captain Mike know. A BBQ chicken lunch with potato bread and deviled egg potato salad will be ready in minutes. Fresh watermelon is always available to get rid of the saltwater taste. Refreshments are also included along with the fresh air, sunshine, and a great ocean view.
