When you think of Naples, you probably think of sandy beaches, tranquil waters, and warm sunshine. While this is all true, there is so much more to this Sunshine State town just waiting for you to discover it. Known as the crown jewel of Southwest Florida, Naples is home to everything from wildlife experiences to fascinating museums. After checking into your vacation rental from Phase III Real Estate Services set off exploring the natural and wild beauty found all around.
Where to Get an Up-Close Look at Wildlife
From zoos to wildlife refuges, there is no shortage of ways to get an up-close glimpse at a variety of wildlife. Whether you’re vacationing with friends or family, everyone in the group will have a blast at these outings.
- The Corkscrew Audubon Sanctuary is found in the heart of the Everglades ecosystem. The 2.25-mile boardwalk takes you through a wet prairie, a marsh, pine flatwoods, and a Bald Cypress forest. Keep your eyes open for animals like alligators, birds, turtles, otters, and deer.
- Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens is a top Naples attraction for good reason. This zoo and tropical garden, founded in 1919, puts you as close to the animals as you can get. Explore the exhibits filled with reptiles, birds, and mammals, or check out one of the daily shows.
- Learn about the work that goes into protecting Southwest Florida’s natural environment by visiting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. The 21-acre nature center with indoor and outdoor spaces features a range of exhibits that’ll have the whole family learning something new.
- For a truly memorable wildlife encounter, plan a stop at NGALA Wildlife Preserve. The exotic animal encounter and educational tour brings you up close with a white rhinoceros, giraffe, and more. There is a space limit for each excursion, so be sure to reserve your spot early.
- Enjoy a relaxing day out on the water while you see if you can spot a manatee on a tour with Manatee Sightseeing & Wildlife Adventures. If Mother Nature cooperates during your adventure, you may just see dolphins, alligators, bull sharks, waterfowl, and more.
