Beginning November 1st, Everglades Area Tours is offering a new experience... The Fakahatchee Island Heritage Tour. Fakahatchee Island is an ancient Calusa Indian mitten that was settled by local Everglades's families in the late 1800's. Departing in a very comfortable powerboat from Everglades City/Chokoloskee Island, we travel through Everglades National Park through the "gates" to Fakahatchee Bay. Along the way, we expect to encounter dolphins, manatees and large numbers of wading birds. Learning about the rich heritage and culture of the area while standing amongst the remains of the old homes, cisterns and grave sites is quite an experience. The island also hosts numerous native and invasive species of plants including orchids, bromeliads and one of the largest "pencil trees" we have ever seen. This two-hour experience departs at 9:00am.
