About this experience
Climb up into the Safari truck, fasten your seatbelt and get ready for the Around the Island Safari Truck Tour! Your tour guide driver will be showing you historical sites, celebrity neighborhoods, mega mansions and more. We'll jump out and explore an ancient indian shell mound and talk about the native americans that lived here before us. We'll dive into how Marco Island turned into a tourist destination and became developed in the 1960s. But wait... what about the animals? We should be able to spot burrowing owls, gopher tortoises, green iguanas, birds of prey and even dolphins if we're lucky. This fun sightseeing tour lasts 1 HR and 25 Mins. Kids can enjoy the on-board scavenger hunt where they look for landmarks and animals while we drive and win a prize at the end.
