The mangrove estuaries serve as nurseries for a spectrum of marine life. It’s typical to spot fish of many different types, juvenile nurse sharks and lemon sharks, stingrays, conch, starfish, turtles, jellyfish, and more. On land are the unique and friendly iguanas, pelicans, herons, egrets, ospreys, and many smaller yet likewise fascinating species of birds.

Paddleboards are an ideal watercraft for eco-tours, as they have very little environmental impact, provide a birds-eye view into the water, and are easy and fun to paddle on.

Tours are suitable and fun for all ages and skill levels, and are a great way for kids to discover interesting wildlife in their natural environment.

For those wanting a different and unique experience, Rising Tide Tours also offers sunset and glowworm tours. In the evening and at night, a different set of creatures come out, and glowworms may even light up the water!
