Top Naples Kayaking Tours

Guide was excellent and kayaks with foot pedals are the way to go. Easy ride, lots of great wildlife shared with us and discovered on this trip. Would highly recommend a guided tour with our very dedicated and keen eyed Cuban - R. He was articulate, passionate and clearly loves his job. Once you use the foot pedaled Kayaks you will never go back! The pictures taken and shared during the outing are also a treat to have as a memory.

If you’re looking to get out for some light exercise while learning about the SW Florida exosystem, look no further than Clear Kayak Guided Eco Tour in Naples. You’ll learn about the crucial mangrove forests, and possibly see native wildlife like dolphins and manatees. Our guide Tommy was the perfect mix of fun and educational. He ensured our safety and was clearly very passionate about the flora and fauna in SW Florida. Highly recommend!

Great fun. After about .25 mile paddle, we gathered to listen to Chandler’s first of many ‘talking’ moments. After a bit of history, some wildlife tips and lots of jokes, we headed out to our first entry point into the red Mangroves. Everyone was properly outfitted and many including myself were glad for the opportunity to grab a wet bag. First bird sightings included spoonbills, osprey (with his/her lunch, and a great blue heron. Further into the mangroves we didn’t see many birds at all, we were all looking for the spider like crabs that we were warned about. All together, we skimmed through maybe 4 or 5 Mangrove tunnels with stops for photos and informative banter. We lingered a bit on a sand bank where a ski-doo had been swallowed up several years ago. With the open water to the west some brave folks added to their trip mileage as others took a bit of a walk about ion the shallow waters. More pics when Chandler grabbed up a huge conch to show it to us up close and personal. Cool. As promised there were group pics to be taken. This was fun as we had to focus our kayaking skills to both stay out of someone else’s group and keep our own sorted. Photo bombing, while allowed and even encouraged, was difficult to say the least. The way back was against the current, the dedicated intrepid ones kept a lively pace. Must have sounded like fun as a young dolphin joined us for about 100 yards. More pics. After landing, all disembarked safely and we gathered to share stories as Chandler dropped all the pics to everyone who wanted them. Highly recommend and appreciate this tour. Have suggested more in depth info on Florida’s great conservation and reclamation projects. Looking forward to mangrove tunneling again. Lots to learn and a great intro to the Rookery.

We had a great time kayaking in the Mangroves! I think our tour guide name was Kyle (but I'm not sure) and he was excellent! He made the trip very fun and educational. Loved seeing the fish, sharks, birds and especially the manatees! Highly recommend bringing polarized sunglasses as it is hard to see in the water otherwise. I highly recommend this tour!
