Our expert Urban Naturalists Guides will regale you with fascinating tales of these iconic islands and historic waterways and illuminate the stories of the migrating birds who inhabit the harbor this time of year.
Throughout the journey, learn insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these precious ecosystems.
