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.”

Captain Brian's New Camera

















Howdy folks!  Yesterday I received my first underwater camera. Today I spent the morning testing it out. I have a lot to learn. The tricky part is keeping balanced with the waves and adjusting to the light as you dive and hover around the object you want to shoot. I look forward to exploring underwater with a new perspective.     Capt. Brian

Fun And Educational Trip















It was another fun and educational trip with Pat, Jen, Ben, Izzy and Ursula. I must say I always learn something new from Ben and Izzy. They are both excellent young shellers who ask the most interesting questions.  Jen found a four spotted trivia shell. I have never had one of these found on any of my trips.  It was exciting for everyone. I enjoyed talking to Ben about the gold-banded cone. Jen brought along some beautiful shells to show me from one of their trips abroad. The shells were amazing. I look forward to our next adventure with show and tell of the shells we find this year. Thank you for all of the questions and for sharing your shell finds from afar.

Shelling with Margaret
















I have taken Margaret out numerous times and she is always willing to roll with the tide of the day.  The winds have been strong and a new sand bar appeared recently.  I knew Margaret would be game to check out this little spit of sand so that's what we did.  After exploring this sand bar we traveled to an island in search of more shells which turned out to be full of shells and fun exploring the beach. She was excited to find a piece of a lion's paw along with other great finds. I always enjoy walking and talking with Margaret and today was no exception.  Great day as usual and I'll see you again in June!

Turtle Workshop






A person can never learn enough. I was thrilled to attend a workshop for turtle monitoring today. Turtles are one of my favorite sea creatures.  I am excited to pass  along on our beach walks some new information that I learned. The most interesting things I learned about are the different turtle tracks and how to identify different species. I look forward to putting these new skills to use. Turtle season begins in May and ends in October.   Capt. Brian
