We provide a fun experience combined with ecological education through our ECO Tours.  Our experience is unparalleled with over 10 years experience and hundreds of tours conducted.  Our program is correlated to the Georgia Performance Standards in science studies. 

We are located at the Jekyll Wharf on beautiful Jekyll Island.  You will find that our office and Gift Shop has very reasonably priced gifts, beverages, snacks and other items.      

Our ECO tours are 75 minutes in length and the cost is only $13.00 for students and $18 for adults.  A minimum of 30 passengers or an equivalent payment of 30 passengers is required per group.   Each of our boats has a maximum capacity of 40 passengers, are sun covered and equipped with a bathroom.  ECO Tours are offered year round.  Prices valid through 2012.  Also, tipping the crew, while not mandatory, is appreciated. 
 

Groups are taken out into the coastal marshlands and rivers where it’s calm and safe.  During the tour our crew will discuss different topics on ecology and environmental issues that impact the coastal estuary.  

                  

Trawl nets are placed in the water and pulled along the bottom with the boat.  Then after a brief instruction, the group becomes participants in the experience by pulling the trawl net into the boat.  A bounty of species is generally pulled up with the net and placed into containers.  Our staff will give a complete presentation of the species caught, and then an opportunity is given to the group to personally examine the catch before carefully returning it to the water. 


We have conducted our ECO tours for thousands of students from school groups, the Jekyll Island 4H Center and Driftwood Learning Center for over 10 years.
