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.”

Wildlife

The beauty of the great outdoors is always changing. You never know what you might see if you just look. The Bald Eagle in the photo just cruised by with a fish in it's talon. The pod of dolphin had a new born calf. The roseate spoonbill had bands on both legs. The dock that I walk on many times a week had a peaceful sky.

Blue Skies

The skies were nice today. It was quiet on the water. The whole day felt like a day in the Ten Thousand Islands in the Everglades.

Captiva Island Sunset

The light was unbelievable tonight. I took several photos on the bay side of Captiva Island, while cleaning the boat. On my way home the light and sunset were spectacular. I had to stop and take more photos. By the time I reached the south end of Captiva Island, the sky was on fire. I had to stop a second time. I ran to the beach and took pictures of the last orange glow of the day. Every sunset leads to a new day.

Special Spots

The moon was just a sliver, the wind today was intense. I just had to take yet another photo of Cayo Costa. You can never take enough photos of special spots, like Cayo Costa.

Shadows On The Beach

The last few days were filled with low morning tides. The light and shells continued to capture my eyes as I walked along the beach. The moon was making his trip around and around. The shadows started to fade, as the tide started to rise.

Cayo Costa Camping October Full Moon

Spent the last four days camping on Cayo Costa. The full moon was most satisfying from the beach. The early morning low tide walk on the beach was rewarding. It was nice to be staying on Cayo Costa, the late night sounds were refreshing, the early morning sounds were familiar and welcoming. It's always a breath of fresh air on Cayo Costa.
