Walking in Wonder - Weekly Eco-Tours at The Bay Park Sarasota 

Join us for a nature walk weekly on Wednesdays at 9:00am and 10:00am with one of our Naturalists. Wind your way along the path through the mangrove forest, into the hammock, through the wildflower meadow and along the shore to learn about the plants and animals that call The Bay home. Experience the sights and sounds of native wildlife and learn more about The Bay as it takes shape before your eyes. 

Private Eco-Tours 

Please contact us to make a reservation for your private eco-tour. We can accommodate any kind of group - a group of friends, birthday party, scout group, family trip, tourist group, homeschoolers, and more. Tours are suitable for all ages and can be tailored to your specific group. 

We can take you on a dip net experience, birding, meditation walk, to see other Florida wildlife - including alligators, and more. Ask us what we can do for you and explore our website for more information.
