SOLD OUT! Many of our events sell out early, so remember to sign up early.

This is a joint tour with the Lemon Bay AACA Chapter. Come meet and have some fun with our neighboring club to the south. We ran this tour a few years ago and it was a blast! We will travel to Babcock Ranch for their Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour.

We’ll board an open-air swamp bus for a guided 1.5-hour tour through the natural wildlife of historic Babcock Ranch. We’ll travel through the Crescent B Ranch, a working cattle ranch with over 14,000 acres. We’ll wander through Florida's varied ecosystems, all the while getting up close and personal with the local wildlife. This tour gives you a chance to experience nature in Florida like you’ve never seen it before.

We will meet at the McDonald’s parking lot at the corner of Laurel and Pinewood Rd. in Venice at 10:30 AM, leaving there at 10:45 AM for the 1-hour trip to Babcock Ranch. We will meet up with the Lemon Bay members there for the tour, and we’ll grab lunch at the bunkhouse cafe after the tour where everyone pays for their own lunch. Call Bonnie Gene Oliver for any questions you may have at 856-371-3104.
