Guided Tours

Guided tours offer unique up-close views of cranes at sunrise, when they wake and take off from the Platte River bed where they roost for the night, and in the evening, when they return to the river for the night and fly in from the fields where they eat during the day. It is an experience you will never forget!

Tours are offered at two locations in central Nebraska: at the Nebraska Nature & Visitor Center at I-80 Exit 305 and at Rowe Sanctuary and the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center near Gibbon.
