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.”

Great Day With Katie, Ryan and Mark






















It was a great day of exploring with veteran sheller Katie, her dad and her brother Ryan. We walked the flats and saw many live shells. Katie found a live albino lightning whelk. We took pictures and put it back where she found it. Many cool discoveries were had by all. Then it was off to favorite spot number one. Ryan found a starfish that he shared with his little sister. Katie found a beautiful piece of a junonia! (Great find Katie) Katie is a veteran sheller who knows her shells and it is always a pleasure shelling with Katie. I look forward to our next trip in July.

Is that a golden olive? I have not seen one, and didn't know if a golden still had some of the markings on it like a normal olive, as this one seems to.

Gail, it's not a golden but close it had some brown and white markings on the underside. Katie and I both wanted it to be, but it was a very cool olive that we both enjoyed.
