Discover the Hidden Seabird Rookery – A Boat-Only Wildlife Paradise

​

Tucked away in the heart of Sarasota Bay lies one of Florida’s most magical secrets — a thriving seabird rookery only accessible by boat. This sanctuary is a living, breathing spectacle of nature, where the sights and sounds of coastal birdlife create a symphony unlike anywhere else.

 

​​Book your boat tour today, and step into a world where nature rules, beauty abounds, and the birds always put on a show.

Our Mission

As your boat gently drifts along the mangrove-lined shore, you’ll witness a kaleidoscope of avian life: the elegant sweep of a Roseate Spoonbill’s pink wings, the fuzzy-headed charm of baby pelicans calling from their nests, and the patient stillness of a Great Blue Heron standing sentinel in the shallows. Overhead, Snowy Egrets glide like feathers on the breeze, while dozens more species nest, feed, and soar in this untouched oasis.

A Birdwatcher's Dream

This rookery is not just a birdwatcher’s dream — it’s an experience that brings you eye-to-eye with the wild heart of Florida. The only way to get there? A guided eco-tour with those who know its channels and stories best.
