Top Naples On the Water

Very friendly staff. I appreciated the option to cancel (for refund) as we had a random cold front come thru (with small craft advisory). My son and I stayed on the ‘safe’ path to the barrier island and had an amazing time. The shells and wildlife were ethereal. Highly recommend!

Captain Kevin was great! We had the best time! The scenery was gorgeous and we enjoyed learning about how the tiny islands were created and seeing wildlife! We were so blessed to be able to enjoy the sunset from a tiny private island! We hope to come back some day to fish with him!

There were three of us and we had requested individual kayaks, which your site stated they were, however, when we met Chris he said I have an order for one single and one double. We explained we were all expecting our own kayak and he had enough kayaks on the trailer to accommodate our request, however, he kind of ignored the fact that we told him we were expecting that and pulled off a two person and a single. Chris was a very good guide, but we really were not happy with that situation.

Great time with Captain Terry! Went with my 3 kids and had a blast. Cruised the mangroves, saw some cool birds learned a lot of cool information. Then stopped by the shell island and took a dip in the ocean. Tip: they do have ice cream and a food boat so bring money/apple pay. We ended looking for dolphins and enjoying the boat. Memorable day for all!

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!

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!

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.

Very friendly greeting upon arrival. The catamaran was immaculately clean! The captain and first mate were very nice and kept us informed. The drinks were plentiful and they even served them to us. We collected so many beautiful shells. I highly recommend this experience. My friend and both said that we just wished they offer longer excursions. Definitely do this if you’re looking for a beautiful experience on the Gulf!
