Immerse in an ECO-Tour and Experience Southwest Florida Islands by Boat

“Captain Brian Holaway is well versed in the intricacies of our unmatched locale. He can guide to and through a multitude of out-of-the way tidal creeks, bayous, keys and islands. More important is his passionate interest and respect for the region. With unique insights from his many explorations and his studies, not only does he identify the birds and wildlife that inhabit our semi-tropical watery land, but he explains their interconnectedness to their environment and each other. In addition, he shares the fascinating history of rugged people who came long before us: Florida Native Indians, the Calusa, the Spanish, the Cubans, early homesteaders, and the wisdom evident in the growth of their culture.

You will come away with great enjoyment and a new understanding of this beautiful place and its history.”

Shelling With Katherine, Tom and Doris














The day started early for veteran sheller Katherine, Tom and Doris. We ran the Gulf to favorite Island number one. The dolphins were fun to see and hear as we took many photographs. I love it when the gulf is calm. Katherine and I walked and talked as we looked for new treasures. She found a great piece of junonia, a beautiful worm shell, three baby ears and two tusks, We also found the largest piece of an angel wing shell that I have ever seen. Katherine enjoyed learning about the ghost crab habitat and the intricacies of the wind effect on the beach dunes. It was a fun trip with Katherine, Tom and Doris.  Keep on shelling!
