“The Real Thing”

Captain Cook is a local with the water of these rivers running in his veins. He seems to know every inch of the estuaries and clearly loves sharing his home turf. Do not even consider going with anybody else. We had such a great time with him, not only because he showed us so much beauty, but also because he respects and cares for his home waters and shared that awe with us. And his stories are great!

Trip Advisor

"Unbelievable"

Our trip with Captain Cook was a once in a lifetime experience! He educations with a delightful sense of humor. The area is beautiful-don't miss out, book this trip.

"Amazing Eco Tour"

If you're into an exciting and informative eco tour, Excursions is the way to go when you're in the Apalachicola area. Captain Cook is a native to the area, and shares his incredible knowledge during the ride. We saw dozens of gators, osprey, giant grasshoppers you won't believe, a bald eagle and even a family of manatees. In the process we learned about the importance of this critical estuary system, and got to do some awesome "AIRBOAT STUFF!" This is a great trip for the entire family - we highly recommend.
