Description

This unique small boat adventure is only offered three evenings per month at the time of the full moon. Guests will visit Key Island (also called Keewaydin), one of the jewels of South Florida. This island on the western edge of Rookery Bay Reserve is renowned for its shell-strewn beaches and pastel sunsets. Taking advantage of the magical sunset hours, this small group trip will set out on a remote section of beach to stroll at leisure as the sun sinks into the Gulf. Afterward, guests will enjoy a leisurely return cruise through the back bays of the Reserve, wrapped in the sights, sounds and sensations of night in a mangrove forested estuary. This tour lasts approximately 3 hours and participants must have the physical ability to step on/off of the boat at a dock. Registration also includes free admission to the Environmental Learning Center on the day of the tour (open 9am-4pm). Maximum of six passengers. No refunds for cancellations.
