DISCOVER A SLOWER PACE OF LIFE AND A TRUE APPRECIATION
OF NATURE AT PORT OF THE ISLANDS RESORT & MARINA
(NAPLES, FL) – The vast biological community known as the Florida Everglades stretches east of Naples, beginning north of town at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, an Audubon preserve and gateway to the South Florida Birding Trail. Endangered wood storks nest in its ancient-growth bald cypress trees. In the depths of the Everglades, alligators, Florida panthers, bob cats, black bears, and nearly 350 species of birds lurk. National and state parks, preserves, and wildlife refuges provide access and recreational opportunities. Port of the Islands Resort & Marina lies nestled in the heart of the Everglades, a perfect spot for a quiet eco-retreat.
Port of the Islands has the largest population of manatees in all of Collier County and is one of the only places in Florida where manatees are found year round. Double R’s Manatee and Nature Tours, conveniently located at Port of the Islands Resort & Marina, are the only local tours that start in the heart of the Everglades and are just minutes from the 10,000 Islands and the Gulf of Mexico. Nature enthusiasts are likely to gaze on alligators, manatees, dolphins and turtles as well as many of the rare and endangered tropical birds such as ibis, egret, great blue heron, osprey, pelican and the American bald eagle. USA Today names The Florida Everglades as one of the “10 Great Places on Earth You Don’t Want to Miss.” Discover an amazing, unique and wild environment that is unlike any other you’ve ever seen.
