Venture through the mangrove tunnels and the grass prairie to the mystic 10,000 Islands. Known as the Amazon of North America, you’ll glide under the canopy of our country’s only subtropical wilderness all the way to Fakahatchee Island. We start off in the freshwater ecosystem, which is where you’re likely to see alligators, birds, fish, and turtles. Midway through the environment begins to change to a saltwater ecosystem. It’s considered brackish water and. is where we sometimes see manatee. as we make our way further south it becomes a total saltwater ecosystem and that’s where we’re likely to see dolphin as well! Once you make it to the mouth of the river you’ll see your next destination…..the ancient shell island across the bay, Fakahatchee Island. That’s where we’ll stop and have our lunch and explore the island. During our exploration you’ll discover remanence of the ancient Calusa Indians as well as the first settlers of the 1800′s. From the island you’ll enjoy a leisurely Motorboat Tour through the 10,000 Islands and back to the mainland. This is a 7 hour trip but can be altered if you desired.
