The crew of the Skimmer will take you to one of the best locations to see Whooping Cranes close enough to photograph, and show you other birds and wildlife in the process. It’s a classic birding experience (photo by Paul Konrad).

Explore one of the best birding locations in the United States on a Rockport Whooping Crane Tour, guaranteed to show you rare and endangered Whooping Cranes in their winter stronghold, along with 30 to 60 different species during a 3-hour birding cruise. Step aboard the famous “Skimmer,” which is specially built to improve stability over other vessels and features enhanced observation and photography space on the first and second decks with an additional enclosed area in the center of the first deck. You never know what you might see, and Captain Tommy and his experienced guides will help you identify and photograph some of the more than 400 species that have been documented along the Texas Coastal Bend of the Gulf Coast.
