PHOTOGRAPHY TREKS
Misty mornings, windswept afternoons, and hazy sunsets are daily Chesapeake features. Our small group photography treks on the upper bay provide the opportunity to capture sometimes dazzling. sometimes subtle but always dramatic bayscape images. Herons, ospreys, eagles, gulls, geese, and ducks are summer denizens that provide all sorts of subject settings. If boat photography is your thing, commercial and recreational water craft abound -- kayaks, canoes, sailing dinghies, yachts, sport fishers, barges, crab boats, dredges, and sea going container ships are common sights. And weather buffs... well, you never know what surprises await you! Photography treks are priced $400 for half day treks and $800 for a full day. Photo treks are limited to 4 persons per group to optimize the setting for good photography.
NATURE ADVENTURES
There is no better way to behold the natural wonders of the lower Susquehanna and upper Chesapeake than to be on the water. On our 4-hour nature excursion you will see the mighty Susquehanna open up to the wide expanse of the Chesapeake Bay. You will see the Susquehanna Flats and witness its natural diversity -- eagles, ospreys, herons, geese, ducks, gulls, cormorants and other flying marvels; a promising recovery of submerged aquatic vegetation; fascinating interaction between ocean tides and river currents; and dramatic views of seasonal weather. Nature Adventures are 6 hours events and are priced at $600. Your party may include up to 6 persons.
SCIENCE EXPLORATIONS
Our science explorations offer a rich experience for natural science students and enthusiasts. This 6-hour program introduces guests to the natural forces that created one of the most productive and diverse estuary systems in the world, the Susquehanna-Chesapeake. On this trip you will learn how the lower end of the Susquehanna River became the Chesapeake Bay; you'll see rock formations, sedimentation processes, the effects of tides and currents and get the chance to make some actual water quality observations using basic scientific tools. Science Explorations are 6 hours events and are priced at $600. Your party may include up to 6 persons.

Or, travel a little further to some popular "gunk-holes" on the Elk and Bohemia Rivers, or on down to Still Pond. Call us about a fun day on the bay.
