Rising Tide Explorers Wins Second Consecutive ‘Best Kayaking Tour’ in USA Today National Poll
NAPLES & MARCO ISLAND (June 22, 2021) – Rising Tide Explorers won “Best Kayaking Tour” in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards 2021, for the second year in a row, the media outlet announced online Friday. Based in Naples & Marco Island, RTE was featured as one of the Best Adventure Tour Companies in the country along side a variety of other adventure activities including biking tours, rafting, boat tours, scenic train rides, and more.
“What a way to cap our record season of kayak and boat tours,” said Ryan Young, founding owner of Rising Tide Explorers. “We are the only company in Southwest Florida hosting eco-tours led by 100% local biologists and science professionals, and it’s our amazing team that makes all the difference. We’ve spent our lives studying the ecology and wildlife of Southwest Florida, and love nothing more than sharing our knowledge and passion for the incredible wild areas of the Western Everglades. Our mission is to connect people to the landscape and help them see it through the eyes of a local scientist. Exploring the beautiful mangrove-lined estuaries while encountering wildlife like dolphin, manatee, sea turtles, giant marine snails, and many other critters is so much more rewarding and interesting when you are joined by a team of young local scientists, including wetland ecologists, herpetologists, water quality scientists, environmental educators, wildlife biologists, and estuarine ecologists.”
