CLICK TO We provide a fun experience combined with environmental education through our ECO Tours. Our experience is unparalleled with over 10 years and hundreds of tours conducted. Our curriculum is correlated to the Georgia Performance Standards in science studies. We are located at the Jekyll Wharf on beautiful Jekyll Island. You will find that our office and Gift Shop has very reasonably priced gifts, beverages, snacks and other items. Our ECO tours are 75 minutes in length and the cost is only $13.00 for students and $18 for adults, with a 20% deposit. Groups are taken out into the coastal marshlands and rivers where it’s calm and safe.

ECO Nature Boat Tour
Ecological Boat Group Tour
We can also assist with large student groups seeking economical lodging on Jekyll Island.
A minimum of 20 passengers or an equivalent payment of 20 passengers is required per group and the public may be added to your group. ( One teacher and the bus driver per boat are free after 20 paying passengers)
If you want a Private ECO tour for your group, you may book the entire boat for $720.
Each of our boats has a maximum capacity of 40 passengers, are sun covered and equipped with a bathroom. ECO Nature Tours are offered year round. Prices valid through 2011.
During the tour our crew will discuss different topics on ecology and
environmental issues that impact the coastal estuary.
Trawl nets are placed in the water and pulled along the bottom with the boat. Then after a brief instruction, the group becomes participants in the experience by pulling the trawl net into the boat. A bounty of species is generally pulled up with the net and placed into containers. Our staff will give a complete presentation of the species caught, and then an opportunity is given to the group to personally examine the catch before carefully returning it to the water.
We have conducted our ECO tours for thousands of students from school groups, the Jekyll Island 4H Center and Driftwood Learning Center for over 10 years.
___________________________________________________________________________
The boat is the classroom
Students learn about our marsh estuary system along with the creatures that inhabit it

We give the name of each species caught, give a brief description of the fish, animal or plant and then
the students are given an opportunity to touch and feel before the catch is returned to the water
