Best Family Eco-Tours
Family eco-tours can be a fun way for different generations to connect with nature on vacation. Some of our favorite ideas for family fun include:
Swamp Buggy Tour
Guided tours in a buggy are a fun way to go deep in the forest and discover wildlife while learning fun facts from trained professionals. Traveling around Babcock Ranch with our expert guides makes it easy for the entire family—from infants to grandparents—to learn more about nature and catch a glimpse of wildlife.
Babcock Ranch Swamp Buggy Eco-Tours allow you to see exciting wildlife like gators, boar, and panthers on a 2.5-hour ride. It’s just $24 for adults with discounted rates for children and seniors!
Biology Boat Tours
South Florida has a lot of fun eco-tours you can do on the water—in the ocean, rivers, and lakes. It’s a fun way to see Florida from a different perspective while connecting with your family.
Some of the family eco-tours you can do in the Florida Keys include:
- Snorkeling
- Dolphin watching
- Kayaking
- Scuba diving
Kids, parents, and grandparents will all enjoy getting familiar with what’s in the ocean and learning fun animal facts about marine life along the way!
Stargazing
Another fun way for the family to connect with the great outdoors is on a stargazing expedition. There are many places around the USA with great stargazing opportunities from coast to coast, including right here at Babcock Ranch.
Southwest Florida may not have the reputation of Death Valley National Park for stargazing, but you’re miles from any lights, making it an excellent place for nighttime nature excursions. Join us on a Sounds of the Night tour, where you can hear (and even see) the creatures living around Babcock Ranch.
Learn and Have Fun on a Family Eco-Tour
Make the most of your next vacation by balancing adventure, education, and entertainment! A Babcock Ranch eco-tour will have kids and adults laughing, learning, and loving every minute of their trip to Southwest Florida.
