Join us for a special Carnival Week edition of our beloved Salt Marsh Eco-Tour—this time with a Summer Camp twist! Think nature, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun as we paddle through Provincetown’s stunning salt marsh.
This 90-minute guided tour offers a safe and exciting way to explore one of the Cape’s most unique ecosystems—where tides flood and empty the marsh twice daily. We’ll cruise through lush seagrasses, visit the iconic 1.5-mile breakwall, and make land stops at dune edges to observe the resilient plant and animal life that call this place home.
🧠🌈 Throughout the tour, we’ll be sprinkling in Carnival Week trivia—from Provincetown history to salty sea creatures—with the chance to win fun prizes and unlock your inner camp champ. Whether you’re a seasoned nature nerd or just here for the vibes, this immersive experience blends education with play, just like the best summer camps do.
P.S. No sharks here! The dunes and breakwall help keep the marsh a safe and tranquil zone for exploration.
