Every Friday, from November 4, 2011 through April 27, 2012 (except March 9, 2012), Captiva Cruises will again offer its special eco-heritage tour featuring the Randell Research Center and the Tarpon Lodge in historic Pineland. Launching from the McCarthy Marina on Captiva Island, the trip includes a cruise by the historic fish houses, to learn about the history of the commercial and sport fishing in the area and to enjoy the marine life encountered along the way. Lunch at the Tarpon Lodge and a guided hike at the Calusa Heritage Trail follow the boat trip. The cruise back to Captiva offers a chance to reflect and relax. Price is $45 per person (does not include lunch).
