Top Naples Kayaking Tours

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.

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!

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.

Chris was our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the plants, birds, alligators and fish. It was great to learn about the eco system we were kayaking through. He had great energy, eased any concerns we had and made the trip so great. His goal was to teach us how to love and appreciate the area like he does. He succeeded!!!

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 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!

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!

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!
