What to do and see in Fort Myers, Florida (FL): The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

July 12, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

The City of Palms is located in Southwestern Florida on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Most visitors go to Fort Myers for the deep-sea fishing, the golf courses and the famous white sand beaches and islands that line the Gulf Coast. A renovation of the city's downtown waterfront promises new restaurants, clubs, shops and galleries. Attractions include the winter estates of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, as well as nearby Naples and the islands of Sanibel and Captiva.

From April through November, join us for an Eco River tour where we head east bound on the Caloosahatchee through several of the original oxbows of the river, the Franklin Locks and then return.
