Are you a nature lover?

If you are, then you have come to the right place as over 60% of Sanibel is a nature preserve! Have you ever wondered why Sanibel is still a paradise when other parts of Florida are concrete and high rises?

This personalized tour with Captain Bubby, a Florida Master Naturalist, will give you a look into the natural beauty that surrounds these islands, while giving you a better understanding of why the island is the paradise it is today and the importance of taking care of our world to preserve it for future generations. 

What is, ‘The Tourist Tree’?
What plant was once called, ‘Florida’s Post Card’?
What is, ‘The Walking Tree’?
What is the name of the bird that looks like it's wearing 'yellow slippers'?

Let Captain Bubby chart your course while you learn the answers to these questions and many more about the island's tropical plant life, amazing birds and wildlife.

Take a leisurely, narrated drive on Ding Darling’s Wildlife Drive and witness many of the birds that visit or call Sanibel home while maybe even spotting an alligator or two! After the drive you will make a stop at Ding Darling’s Nature Center where they have beautiful displays, interactive kiosks and lots more information on some of the wildlife you may have just seen. 

As part of a private tour you will have the ability to stop whenever you would like, to observe, ask questions or take that once in a lifetime photo! 

*Nature tours can be provided anywhere throughout Lee County.
