How much does a private eco tour trip cost?

Is booking a guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is in the wild every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of having a great trip.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for eco tour tours?

The most popular season for eco tour tours is summer, and most people book their trips 17 days in advance.
