Cape Cod's Most Unique Environmental Tour
Cape Cod Learning Tours provides a unique and exciting learning experience. By combining hands on exploration with real scientific equipment we bring a level of interest and participation that most others lack. We use plankton nets and microscopes, Water Chemistry kits, and identification tools to bear on exploring and discovering the natural wonders of the shores of Cape Cod. Our naturalists are true botanists, biologists, teachers and professors.
All of our naturalists have at least 15 years experience teaching in outdoor or indoor classrooms. Highly respected and knowledgeable we will create an experience your guests will always talk about.
