This Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour takes you on a 90-minute ride through the natural wildlife of historic Babcock Ranch. You will travel through the Crescent B Ranch, a working cattle ranch with over 14,000 acres in pastureland and learn its history. You’ll also wander through Florida ecosystems, all the while getting up close and personal with the local wildlife – like wild turkeys, caracara, soft shell turtles, magnificent osprey, Sandhill cranes, and fox squirrels – just to name a few. You will be amazed at all the wildlife you will see and the history and knowledge of our guides.

Before or after the tour, don't miss their GIFT SHOP.
