Don’t let summer pass by without one last trip on the water! The Mobile-Tensaw Delta is the second largest river delta system in the country, one of the most biologically diverse places in the U.S., and is known as “America’s Amazon”.

There’s a few great ways to get outside and enjoy this unique part of the world. The Five Rivers Delta Resource Center along the Causeway has a Delta Discovery tour where you’ll catch a glimpse of wildlife in the Delta, and a Sunset Cruise that features some of the best sunsets in America.

The Perdido Queen Dinner Cruise will satisfy your appetite with good food, live music, and a great time on board the Perdido Queen paddle boat. WildNative tours feature harbor tours that get you up close to Mobile’s working harbor. Airboat Express is an airboat ride through the Delta which guarantees alligator sightings!

(We went on a delta tour a few years ago looking for alligators--- find out if we made it out alive!)

Get out and enjoy one of the most unique outdoor havens in the United States right here in our backyard!

❤ A Do Some Good Highlight

Ronald McDonald House Charities Mobile offers a home away from home for families whose children are at hospitals for life-threatening illnesses and injuries treatment.

Since its establishment in 2000, RMHC Mobile has served almost 10,500 families in need of a temporary retreat.

Supporting families with terminally ill or injured children who get treatment at nearby hospitals is the mission of the RMHC Mobile.

There is a fully equipped kitchen, laundry services, and an exercise area at RMHC Mobile for families to use during their stay.

They must provide these families with “a home away from home” while their children receive treatment at RMHC Mobile, which is why their slogan is “a home away from home.”

You can sponsor a stay in their Ronald McDonald House through their Share a Night or Adopt a Room program.
