Petw K: This was our third time out on the echo tour. Every trip is different because you never know what youre going to see as its thousands of acres and many animals roam around free and wild on their own. There are set routes that the open bus takes so you can sit back and take it all in. Conditions change with the seasons so depending on when you go the terrain can be anything from dry as a bone to something short of flood stage. It can get pretty bumpy on certain stretches of the trip but that is the charm of it and the buses are built for it too. The driver " guides" are full of local knowledge and the hour& half passes quickly. Kids of all ages should enjoy it. There is a small gift shop, snack/lunch shack , museums and other assorted features. I think next time well check it out during the wet season .
Jason McKinney: We stopped in while walking the streets on a nice day. The staff was friendly and insightful, telling us about the local artists they featured and the process by which artists connected. A great variety in works was on display, both in 2D and 3D selections.
Christy Piper: A group of 6 of us reserved seats for the swamp buggy ride. This is on an old school bus with no glass pane windows, and great views. They sell them in advance for certain times. The first ride before us was full. I believe ours was around 10am. It was not as full, so we got more room to move around when animals came up to one side of the bus.
We got to hold a small alligator, which was cool. We got to watch our tour guide feed several wild animals, including turkeys, pigs, steers, deer. The guide was so knowledgeable about the property, history, and animals. She loved the animals. The tour guide made the tour exciting for both kids and adults alike. I had a great day! Just be sure to use the bathroom ahead of time. Because it is a 1.5+ hour ride, and no bathrooms during the tour. Well worth the trip!
Derrick&6Strings: Extremely awesome experience. Learned a lot about the Greek mythology stories for the stars & we had snacks, chairs, and mosquito repellent. I’ll definitely be doing this again, and bring someone else with me. Was a core memory I’ll never forget. Jason was awesome
WinningVibes: The King Fisher Fleet Sunset Cruise is definitely a vibe! You need to book it now!
Captain Alan and the crew were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun! The sunset views were absolutely stunning and felt spiritual!
Thank you, Captain, for allowing me the unforgettable experience of steering the boat!
Seeing that dolphin swim alongside us for most of the tour was icing on the cake! Will take this tour again!!!
Rudy Triana: Park is currently under some repairs, but it’s still a nice place to walk your dog, take a walk yourself and enjoy the calming views of the Charlotte Harbor. You can also walk directly into the Sunseeker Resort, which is open to the public. If you’re just visiting the Sunseeker for a few hours, I recommend parking here instead of paying for expensive parking at their parking garage.
