Situated in the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Tarpon Bay Explorers presents nature and wildlife tours and offers kayak rentals for the whole family. This successful eco-business provides a range of fun tours that focus on the wildlife and natural landscapes of Sanibel Island, including a mangrove kayak tour that journeys through the mangrove forests and observes native wildlife such as alligators and nesting birds in their natural habitat.
The popular Sunset Rookery Paddle is a must for bird-lovers as it follows an array of bird species like cormorants, herons, and ibis against the backdrop of the spectacular Sanibel sunset. Kida can enjoy an interactive animal encounter with a variety of sea creatures at the Tarpon Bay Explorers’s Touch Tank.
