It was a great way to spend an afternoon. The staff was friendly, super helpful, provided easy to use map for navigation of the possible routes. It was a beautiful day, unique scenery, and good equipment. Highly recommend.

MCE was great. Already had everything ready when we showed up. Gave us a laminated map and explained different options for us. Very helpful and nice crew. We didn't see much wildlife, but I think that was due more to the time of day. I would definitely consider renting kayaks from this company again. It was a pleasure.

Thank you so much for the awesome review! I’m really glad everything was ready to go for you and that the team was able to help you get set up with the map and options—that’s exactly what we aim for.
Totally understand on the wildlife too, it can definitely depend on the time of day, but I’m glad you still had a great experience out there. We truly appreciate it and would love to have you back out with us again anytime!

Mike was extremely kind and knowledgeable.
The kayaks and equipment were perfect.
We enjoyed our trip. It was a bit confusing at first because there was another kayak company right next to MCE at the same location

Thank you so much for the kind words—I really appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the trip and that everything with the kayaks and equipment was on point. I totally understand the confusion at the launch, it can get a bit crowded with other companies nearby, but I appreciate you sticking with us. Hope to have you back out on the water again soon!

It was a great time. Mike provided a map that was very helpful and the kayak provided was great. We did not choose the clear kayak due to the murky waters due to the rain the day before. The trip through the mangrove tunnels was a lot of fun.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the great review! I’m really glad you had such a good time exploring the mangrove tunnels. I’m happy the map helped make the trip easy to navigate and that you enjoyed the kayak as well.
Sometimes after rain the water can be a bit murkier, but it sounds like you still had a fun adventure out there. Thanks again for coming out with us, and we hope to see you back on the water again soon!

Mike was amazing!!! Very kind, patient, and polite. Activity was very beginner friendly. Was a first-time experience for me and my girlfriend, and already agreed that this should be a monthly activity for us.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you both had such a great first experience out on the water. It means a lot to hear you felt comfortable and want to make it a monthly activity—that’s awesome! Hope to see you again soon for your next adventure!

We had a great time and really loved the island! Didn’t see manatees or dolphins this time but very chill experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks so much for the review! I’m glad you had a great time and enjoyed the island — it’s such a peaceful spot to explore. Sorry the dolphins and manatees were a bit shy this time, but hopefully they’ll make an appearance on your next visit. We'd love to have you back for another relaxing adventure!

Mike gave us a map and suggested a route; it was amazing! We rented a clear kayak which I definitely recommend.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks for the awesome feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the clear kayak and the route—we want everyone to experience the best of Bonita Springs at their own pace. Hope to see you out there again!

Kayaking in the mangroves exceeded expectations. For a Saturday morning in March, I was worried about mobs of boats but it was easy to find tranquility. Staff very friendly and helpful— laminated maps they provide are quite essential. A little awkward finding the correct launch site— but their trailers are well labeled with company name. Loved paddling in the mangroves.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for the wonderful review! I’m so glad kayaking in the mangroves exceeded your expectations and that you were able to find some peace and tranquility, even on a busy Saturday. The laminated maps are definitely helpful, and I’m happy to hear they added to your experience. I appreciate your feedback about the launch site, and we’ll continue to make sure our signage is clear. Hope to see you back on the water soon

Mike was super nice and helpful. He gave us a map and told us where to go and what to avoid based on the conditions. Equipment was in excellent condition. The beach was absolutely stunning. Thanks Mike! ~Shelly from Chicago

Beautiful experience! Super friendly owners and very helpful and patient with our forgetful group! Saw a dolphin! We did self guided and it was super easy!
Response from Host, Nov 2024

We’re glad we could help your group get everything sorted—patience is part of the job, and it’s worth it to see everyone have a great time. We’d love to see you again for another adventure!

We rented kayaks for self a guided tour. Mike’s dad set us up with tandems (some members of our crew have shoulder issues) and gave us a map and suggestions. We tried traveling through the mangrove tunnels in hopes of seeing manatees.. Unfortunately we got caught up in the mangroves and had to double back into more open water. We finished up earlier than the 2 hr slot. Mike reached out to say he was sorry our experience was cut short and offered us a complimentary tour the following day. Incredible customer service. Would recommend this business to anyone!

I'm sorry to hear that you got caught up in the mangroves and had to cut your trip short, but I'm glad that Mike reached out and offered a complimentary tour to make up for it.
