We had a fantastic time at Ding Darling's. The birds are awe-inspiring and the gators are amazing. It is a photographer's dream and a hiker's playground. We've been back twice & will keep returning. Great for families and people with any mobility issues.
We like birding and love visiting Ding Darling at low tide. We took my sister and brother-in-law and they loved the experience of seeing so many birds in one place. We drove our car around and were able to stop where we wanted to observe with scope and binoculars. We even saw a hermit crab in the water. We had our national park pass so could go right in. We came back another day and spent a lot of time in the education center and gift shop. Great place for nature lovers.
Ride a bike, rentals all over the Island, rent a kayak, or just walk the trails. Well managed natural refuge.
Great place to cycle (or drive) through stopping off wherever you see something interesting - best $1 each we ever spent! Go through on your way to Captiva.
If you like to bike, hike, and look at wildlife, this is a perfect outing. It is on Sanibel Island, but there are few sandy beaches in this park. Instead you will see all kinds of birds and many Mangrove forests. Check out the education center for more information. Well worth your time if you get tired of the sandy beaches.
We will come back here again one day. We did the driving tour through and saw lots of birds....A must see when in the area.
我读过一些差评,抱怨说没有看到任何野生动物,但,去野生动物保护区就得承担这种无功而返的风险——谁也不能保证。我们呢,进去还不到一分钟,就有一只豹子正好打我们前方的路上穿过。真是太惊艳了!我们在保护区里开着车,可以在想要的时间、地点停下车来。周围风景美不胜收,而且还有成群的鸟儿。没能看到海牛和短吻鳄,不过我确信,在别的日子或者季节,你会看到不一样的动物的。我觉得这一行完全值得五美元的入场费,我绝对还会再来。
坐汽车穿越保护区会很无聊。还不如骑自行车,这样你可以面对面接触野生动物。每次我去我都看得到粉红色的火烈鸟。最好清晨时分去。
美!——我们划着独木舟,沿着那预设的小小河道顺流而下。本来,我们更习惯那种更有风浪和挑战性的自选路线——所以这一段水路对我们来讲显得有些太商业化、简单和简短了些——不过总的来说,风景很美~
叮林保护区的美色让人难忘。那儿的小鸟可爱活泼,品种繁多。风景秀美,令人窒息,让人从心里感到静谧祥和。也是一个探寻过往历史的好机会。道路两旁是各种各样的植物,棕榈树大大的树叶给人一种心醉神迷的感觉,非常享受。密林很大,野生动物肯定不少。喜欢叮林。开车路程大概4.5英里。在保护区里没看到有食物摊点或是卫生间。其他东西应该还是有的,但我们直接开车就离开了。
