The Banana Bay tours in Cape Coral invite passengers to enjoy a 3 hour journey full of nature and wildlife out of the Cape Harbour Marina. This includes the calming sounds of the water and watching the dolphins leap through the air. The ecological dolphin and lunch tour sees a variety of birds as well.
There are bald eagles, snowy egrets, ibis, pelicans, anihingas, and ospreys on the way. The boat goes into the San Carlos Bay and close to a few islands such as the Black Skimmer, where many pelicans arrives from the Midwest. To take precautions of the current health situation, passengers must wear masks and every other row is skipped to remain at a distance from one another.
