Adventure Tips
Bring binoculars for wildlife spotting
Binoculars enhance viewing of distant birds and shy animals along the bayou boardwalk.
Wear insect repellent
The bayou environment attracts mosquitoes especially near water; repellent helps keep bites at bay.
Stay on guided paths
To protect delicate habitats, remain on the electric vehicle route and boardwalk areas at all times.
Dress in layered clothing
Texas weather can shift quickly—light layers help adjust for sun, breeze, or cooler temps during your tour.
