Coastal Wildlife Tour

About This Trip

Sebastian Inlet is teeming with wildlife above and below the water. On this half-day sightseeing and wildlife cruise, Captain Richard takes you through the most active wildlife areas. Bottlenose dolphins and manatees are a near-daily sight, and sea turtles and rays turn up regularly. Through the mangroves and spoil islands you will see roseate spoonbills, wood storks, ospreys, pelicans, herons and egrets.

This stretch of coast sits alongside the Archie Carr refuge, one of the most important sea turtle nesting beaches in the world, so turtles are around all summer — we see them in the water on the way out and between stops. A great option for families with kids, non-fishers, or anyone who wants to experience the natural side of Florida's coastline.
