Description and Activities:
Babcock Wilderness Adventures, Inc. is operated
on the massive 90,000 acre Crescent B Ranch in Lee
and Charlotte counties and offers exactly what we
imply -
A Wilderness/Ranch/Adventure.
If you wish to experience the
thrill of meeting panthers, bison, birds, and dozens
of wild alligators face to face, then this tour is a
must. Perhaps you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of
a white tailed deer or some of the many wild turkeys
along the tour route. Specially built swamp buggies
carry you through unspoiled pinewoods, fresh water marsh,
and sections of the Telegraph Cypress Swamp. A professional
tour guide completes the experience with commentaries
on the wildlife, ranch activities such as cattle and
horses, and history of the area. You can bring a picnic
or enjoy a lunch of gator bites, hamburgers, hot dogs,
and other luncheon items in our Gator Shack Restaurant.
Attractions Summary:
90 minute Swamp Buggy Tour through the Babcock Ranch
and Telegraph Cypress Swamp. Experienced Guides offer
in-depth descriptions of birds, animals, plants, and

living in Southwest Florida.
