This is Captain Rene Heidt who spent a large part of her day last week taking my daughter Katie and myself out on one of her Sundial Nature Tours. WOW! This was not a fishing trip, this was not a group dolphin tour, this was not even a ride around in the marsh and back waters and see “stuff”. This was a personally designed hands on AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
We met Rene at her waterside home on Tybee and she explained the day- making a special point to remind us this was our time and whatever we’d like to do and see- just let her know. We wanted to see everything possible! The “Marsh Hen” boat took us out and we saw migrating birds on their way from the South Pole on their way to upper Canada, we saw pods of doplphins, we saw marsh hens who make their nests in the marsh grass, we stopped at Little Tybee and walked the deserted beach- we were completely enthralled with everything! Who knew that this truly magical space was literally out our back door ( we also saw our cottage from the water while riding the back river area).
I absolutely, postively strongly encourage any one coming to Tybee to spend time with Capt Rene on one of her tours. Her website is www.sundialcharters.net , email is rene@sundialcharters.net and phone is 912-786-9470. Children, adults, even your dog is welcome ( Dogs are allowed on Little Tybee- but during sea turtle nesting season – now- they need to remain on leash). Any questions or to learn more about my experience- just call or email me!!!
PS- as with some many of our Tybee locals- Rene wears many hats. She is also an accomplished artist creating beautiful water colors of marsh and nature scenes!
Diane – I have enjoyed reading this post from many moon ago. Thank you for your continued support and friendship. We love our mermaids. Captain Rene
