Big River Adventures offers customized eco tours of the Upper Mississippi River backwaters. This is a photographer or nature lover's ultimate adventure! Our captains will take you to isolated areas of the river that most other boats aren't able to navigate. Depending on the time of year, you will see eagles, eaglets, egrets, tundra swans, herons, white pelicans, beaver, muskrat, turtles, all kinds of ducks, lotuses, lillies, remote sand beaches and man-made islands. It is a true backwaters nature experience up close and personal!
