DISCOVER the amazing collection of plants, animals, birds and marine life that make up the best example in nature of a complete Ecosystem. Not an artificial environment like a zoo or aquarium, this is the real thing. Our discover tour is interactive. Various nets and dredges are employed to retrieve specimens from beneath the water. Specimens go into onboard touch-tanks where they can be seen, observed and when appropriate touched and held. All living specimens are returned to the water. There's also a fishing demonstration and a beach walk along a barrier island not accessible by car. An added bonus, not every trip, but frequently, we encounter bottle nosed dolphins (FLIPPER) on our tours, a real treat.
All Explorer vessels are rest room equipped.
