High Points Ancient Island Excursion
Ages 3+ | 3 Hours
What to Expect
This adventure will take you to Sand Hill, an ancient sand dune relic from the Pleistocene Era and one of the highest points in all of Collier County.
Follow your naturalist guide on a hike into the Coastal Scrub to see and appreciate the geologic history of Sand Hill as you enjoy an incredible view over the estuary.
Visit ancient burial grounds and learn about the history of this unique place while encountering specially adapted trees, shrubs, and wildflowers of this unique ecosystem hidden in the estuary. After taking in the view, hike down to one of the largest and oldest Slash Pine trees in all of Florida which is also home to a bald eagle’s nest.
This trip allows our explorers the opportunity to experience a place few visitors get to see that can only be accessed through this unique adventure with Rising Tide Explorers.
Restrictions
This tour involves a brief 500 foot hike through a slightly elevated trail which is a mix of Sand and soil. As Sand Hill is a protected area, there is no dock and dismounting the boat requires the use of ramps. We recommend those with mobility impairments to call us for a detailed description of the movements involved on this excursion!
