Grande Tours
Sign up for a kayaking, birding, fishing tour or a sightseeing cruise around Boca Grande with this eco-tourism company. Discover the sandbars of the Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve via kayak or boat as you follow a knowledgeable sea guide. You can also take a trip led by an experienced captain to go bay fishing for snook, redfish or trout.
