Tarpon Bay Explorers offers discounted rentals on National Public Lands Day
On Sept. 22, Tarpon Bay Explorers will be treating visitors to a 25% discount on kayak, paddleboard and bike rentals in honor of National Public Lands Day. National Public Lands Day was first launched in 1994 and aims to advocate for public land support, restoration and stewardship through volunteer services. Public lands consist of any federal, state or locally owned land that is for public use. Seeing that Tarpon Bay Explorers operates out of federal land, the company decided to celebrate the day with a discount to encourage visitors and locals alike to explore the land and water the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge has to offer.
“National Public Lands Day is really gaining steam and recognition on a local, state and federal level,” explained Tarpon Bay Explorers’ Program and Education Manager, Adam Sauerland. “The day receives recognition at all levels and we are more than happy to collaborate with the refuge to encourage visitors to explore the public lands Sanibel has to offer in hopes of them gaining appreciation and respect for a beautiful area,” further explained Sauerland. Many people visit Sanibel for its beaches, but not all know that a third of the island consists of the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to the beaches, the refuge is a huge attraction for Sanibel which the Explorer family wants all visitors and locals alike to experience.
Tarpon Bay Explorers is the concession to the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge providing low-impact recreational activity and educational opportunities. 15% of what Tarpon Bay Explorers receives goes back into U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service benefiting refuges around the country. To experience the “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge with Tarpon Bay Explorers, visit their website at www.tarponbayexplorers.com or call the gift shop at 239-472-8900. National Public Lands Day discount cannot be combined with Tarpon Bay Explorers’ annual local September Discount.
