Eco-tours for Adults - Exploring the Kissimmee River

Since 1998, CES has been offering Explore the Kissimmee River Eco-tour field trips for adults. We host interested residents, visitors, and environmental professionals from all over the state, country and world. So, pack your lunch, wear cool and comfortable field clothes, and sneakers/sandals that can get wet – we will get off the boat at a restored sandbar. Don’t forget your sunglasses, hat and sunscreen!
