Review & FAQ:

The objective of the Biscayne National Park Institute is to connect people to the Biscayne National Park through educational and experiential programs, in order to foster a greater appreciation for the valuable natural resource. They offer guided tours by boat to Boca Chita, the most popular island in the park. The trips take 3 hours and passengers are taught about the history, habitats and health of the ecosystem. Another trip includes climbing the lighthouse which offers panoramic views of the bay. Each Tuesday, teams of volunteers clean away debris in the mangrove swamps. The institute also hires out canoes, paddle boats and kayaks.
