Our guide was incredible! Her knowledge of the ecosystems in the area was impressive. She way patient, kind and funny.
Great experience. For the life of me, I cannot remember our guides name. She was knowledgeable about the area. Her love of nature was evident in everything she said and did. She even stopped, got off her paddleboard, pulled an upside down jellyfish out of the water so we could see it upclose ( it was beautiful!).

Our tour guide was super...
Our tour guide was super knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants in the area. He kept asking us for things we were interested in so he could help answer any questions we had. The water was super calm, allowing us to make frequent breaks and stop for shelling where we got several shells and a few sand dollars! Overall a terrific experience and would book again!!

Great sunset activity
Great tour! The boats were in excellent condition, and Lance was fantastic—so helpful and full of information about the local wildlife and ecosystem. We kayaked to the beach, watched a beautiful sunset, and then paddled back with lights. It wasn’t too strenuous, but you should be comfortable kayaking and navigating your own vessel. We had a wonderful time!

Kayak tour
Our guide was absolutely amazing! He was knowledgeable about all the plants and wildlife and had the perfect demeanor to handle all personalities. We were able to see a dolphin, many different birds, and my husband had a close encounter with a manatee! So much fun!

Loved It!!!
Self guided tour was very easy to follow on the map they provide. Bonus they provide waterproof bags big enough for your belongings which was great! We saw a dolphin which was awesome. He literally swam around my son’s kayak and got great video. The beach was soooo cool to get out and look for seashells and hit the water. We really enjoyed our experience and would definitely do it again!! Highly recommend.

Freedom on a paddle board
When we initially signed up, it was not realizing we were going to have a 12hr travel delay. 3 brothers was totally understanding, and happy to reschedule our tour (thank goodness, because Viator did not have any other resolutions!) So that alone, spoke volumes to me! We initially did sign up, anticipating to get to see more manatee and dolphins. We did see a few dolphins, and a Mama and calf manatee; but the sightings were brief and short. Although we didn’t see as much wildlife as we were hoping, I still think the experience was absolutely phenomenal! My family and I are avid kayakers, both back at home, and whilst traveling. I’ve noticed that paddle boarding has really become quite popular, so I wanted to finally try it for the 1st time. I am so happy I chose this particular tour with Eric, to try it as a first timer. His instructions were clear, concise, he was very patient and understanding. Not only that, but I think Eric was an exemplary tour guide. He had all the traits we find incredibly important in a tour guide. He was knowledgeable, courteous, cultured, and a great communicator. Although we have no control over the wildlife, I still would HIGHLY recommend this tour, for the experience alone. My favorite part, was getting to paddle board through the mangroves. I highly recommend this tour, and that you request Eric as your guide!

Fun in the Rain
The kayak tour was fantastic and just what we needed for a cloudy, rainy day in Marco Island. Foot peddling the kayak thru the mangroves and see a group of swallow-tailed kit birds flying made for a truly enjoyable trip. Thanks so much to the entire team!

Highly recommend
Nick was our guide. He was amazing and very knowledgable about the area and wildlife. He added a lot of history and facts about what we’re seeing make it more then just a kayak.. It was an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours - not too strenuous with nice breaks and the ability to see the hidden gems of the mangrove.

Kayaking the Mangroves
Great experience kayaking through the mangroves. Liked that it was a small group (12). Lead by two guides with degrees in related fields, very knowledgable. Stay close to the lead guide as it can sometimes be difficult to hear since her back is towards the group. Though we would stop to gather several times for information. Wind was against us returning and one guide towed a young girl who was struggling slightly, very helpful! Saw some birds, large horse conch, too early for manatees, no dolphins. Suggestions: bring a towel and change of clothes if you’re headed somewhere else after the tour. Public restroom available at the car park. It’s probably a good idea to have experience kayaking as you need to navigates some “close” tunnels.

Lance - great guide!
Lance was our guide. He remembered everyone's name throughout the morning. He was impressive, informative and safe. I felt like we were in very good hands. It was a perfect day and I was kayaking with my 13 y/o grandnephew who lives in Ohio and has only kayaked once. Lance made him feel very comfortable and in charge of our boat. We'll do this again next spring break! Thanks Lance!

Valentine’s Kayak Treat
Dylan was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable kayak guide. He was was a wealth of information about the wildlife that we encountered on our tour. He actively found different types of snails and birds to show us. He also answered our questions in an understandable manner. The tour was more time and sights than expected. Would highly recommend this kayak tour!

Birds and sea creatures a plenty
There were six of us, including our guide Adam. We enjoyed kayaking through the mangroves. While we missed seeing the manatees, we saw multiple types of fish, numerous jumped completely out of the water. Each person in our group saw at least one bull shark and we saw and heard more birds than I ever have in a three hour span. What a great time!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Get up close to southwest Florida’s nature and wildlife, exploring hard-to-reach places by kayak. Naples kayaking tours let you paddle through the region’s famous mangrove tunnels, looking for creatures like manatees, alligators, and a variety of birds. Or, paddle across clear and calm waters at sunset in search of dolphins. Some tours offer Hobie kayaks that let you pedal with your feet instead of paddling (to give your arms a rest), while others have clear kayaks equipped with LED lights that let you see through to the water below.
