Eco-heritage cruise experience
Here's an interesting account of an eco-heritage cruise on the St. Johns River in Florida. Honestly, it sounds better than a regular cruise to Bermuda on a big ship.
Imagine seeing a bald eagle, alligators, wood storks and more wildlife:
Belted kingfishers, great blue herons and white ibises probed the spatterdock. A couple of sandhill cranes stalked the shore. From nests atop channel markers, baby osprey poked their heads above the sticks to glimpse glinting binoculars pointed at them.That just has to be more exciting than a nice buffet.
The price isn't much less expensive than a normal cruise, and the cruise is shorter. However, the experience is much more unique:
The next St. Johns Riverkeeper cruises are Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 20-22. Cost: $515 per person; includes transportation from your car to tour start (if going downriver, park in Jacksonville, Fla.; if going upriver, park in Sanford, Fla.); two motel nights; two catered lunches; and cruise. Details: 904-256-7591.Posted by James Trotta at June 6, 2006 1:43 AM
