Making the Most of Your Ecotour

Space is limited, so please register in advance. Ecotour registrations are valid once a deposit, or full payment, is received.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to our meeting location and be ready to leave promptly at our departure time. We cannot reduce the enjoyment of the group to wait for late arrivals. Refunds will not be given for late arrivals. 

Dress appropriately to enjoy your adventure. This typically means wearing closed-toe shoes, wearing a hat, sunglasses, sometimes long sleeves and long pants. 

Bring plenty of water, maybe a snack, wear sunscreen and bring bug spray. We always encourage you to bring a spare change of clothes, shoes and a towel too. 

Still have questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us. We want your Florida outdoor adventure to be pleasurable!
