      The tour starts with a ride along Anclote River out to the Gulf of Mexico to a remote little island know as III Rooker Bar.   Along the way we’ll see all kinds of marine life and the different habitats they live in.    The Atlantic Bottle-nose Dolphin is most commonly encountered of all.  They sometimes swim along side the boat, almost close enough to touch.
     Once we disembark on to III Rooker Bar Wildlife Preserve we get to go snorkeling wright off the Island.  Off the Gulf side of the island you’ll encounter spider crabs, schools of minnow, maybe some stingrays, and at the right time of year, manatee have been encountered in as little as 4 feet of water.  On the inter-coastal side you’ll snorkel over the sea grass where you’ll see some sea scallop, stone crab, live conk and many other interesting fish.    
     If you like to collect seashells you’ll be in heaven.  There are tones of shells, coral, sand dollars, and sea sponges to collect.  Shelling mesh bags are available for your use and the sky’s the limit.  The rule is,” No Live Shelling” everything else is up for grabs.  Refreshments are included along with the fresh air, sunshine, and an adventure you'll never forget.
