We went on an abbreviated tour with Double R's Fishing and Tour Company (1 1/2 hour as opposed to the 2 1/2 hour) and saw the manatees, a variety of tropical birds and alligators.

Several of the volunteer workers were crabby and rude. The boat ride was nice though. It was free and they even stopped to let us get a coconut for one of the kids. Kids got to drive and got a captain's certificate. Touch tank and recovery center were neat. If not for rude volunteers, would have given a higher review. more

The Conservancy also offers a shelling cruise and a sunset bird viewing cruise. Each cost $25.00/adult. We took the shelling cruise and found it to be a delightful afternoon. They took us to an all-but- deserted island that had great shelling. The knowledgeable staff pointed out wildlife on the trip to the island and back to the mainland. The cruises... more

The Conservancy of Southwest Florida a real hidden treasure. We spent the afternoon there and could easily have spent the whole day. Entry is $7.50 per person, although there is a FREE 45 minute narrated electric boat tour of the river. You see Florida nature UP CLOSE and personal! We then rented a 2 person Kayak for 2 hours for... more
