Easy to get to, plenty of parking, guides were very friendly and helpful. Our guide John was informative and did well for his first time out. All different levels of kayaking and paddle boarding experience can easily take tour, guides were helpful to all. By the end all paddle boarders were standing. Not the best day for wildlife, we saw one dolphin at the end. However, nature is unpredictable and not a reflection of the tour. We would definitely recommend and will do the tour again in the future.

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!

Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re especially grateful you gave us the opportunity to reschedule after your travel delay, and we’re glad we could help make your trip work out. We’re thrilled Eric made your first paddle boarding experience such a memorable one with his patience, instruction, and knowledge. Seeing dolphins along with a mother and calf manatee is always a special experience, and we’re so glad you also enjoyed paddling through the mangroves. Thank you for the heartfelt recommendation—we look forward to welcoming you and your family back on another adventure soon!

Awesome experience with great guides, Brandon and John! Wear water shoes because oyster shells on bottom and can cut feet. Be sure to bring water too - it was hot! Saw manatee, variety of large birds, and a ray but dolphins were hiding today. Mangroves are very cool! Highly recommend
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Great time and beautiful! John was a great tour guide. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any manatees or dolphins but it was still a great two hours!

Eric was wonderful! Very kind and patient. I was able to stand on the paddle board but didn't feel steady so we changed it to a kayak and he was so chill.

Cool for $72. Saw a couple of dolphins. Unfortunately no manatee. Nice day on the water and Eric our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and environment.
Response from Host, May 2026

We’re glad you had a nice day out on the water and got to see a few dolphins along the way. While manatee sightings can never be guaranteed, we’re happy to hear that Eric helped make the tour enjoyable with his friendly personality and knowledge of the area and local environment.
We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you out on the water again soon!

We had such a fantastic time on this paddleboard tour in Florida! It was our first time paddleboarding and it went really well—super beginner-friendly and a great experience overall.
The water was calm, which made it easy to enjoy the surroundings. While we didn’t see as many animals as we had hoped (no manatees, unfortunately), we did get to see dolphins up close, which was incredible. We also spotted some birds, fish, and even bats hanging out under the highway bridge—such a cool surprise!
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. I’d definitely recommend bringing a water bottle, especially on a warm day.
Overall, a really enjoyable experience and something I’d absolutely do again. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
So glad you had such a great first paddleboarding experience—that sounds like an awesome trip! Calm water and dolphins up close is a pretty incredible combo, even if the manatees didn’t make an appearance this time. The bats under the bridge sound like a wild bonus too.
It’s always a huge plus when the guide makes things fun and easy, especially for beginners. And yes—Florida heat + water = definitely bring that water bottle.
Thanks for sharing this—makes me want to book a tour myself!
Antoinette_R, Apr 2026
Jesse and Eric were excellent! Jesse got us checked in and shared history of the company and the brothers. Eric shared some great info on the sea life and kept everyone engaged. We were very lucky and saw 2 dolphins interacting g and swimming amongst our tour group and for some great photos and videos. Thanks for a great time. Highly recommend.

Linda_S, Apr 2026
This was a fun experience. Eric was a great guide. He educated us on some of the wildlife we might see (unfortunately we didn’t see any). It was still a fun experience. He and the other guide were very patient and helpful. He even taught those who did not know how to use a paddle board how to use one.

The excursion was misleading from the advertisement. Of course, no guarantee to see much, but likely to see nothing. The water was not clear as in the picture either. We were also informed and delayed an hour from our initial time which was not a big deal, but then waited quite a bit after we got there to get started as well. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this. It should be advertised as kayaking or paddle boarding, without mention of dolphins, manatees, sea turtle viewing. Those MIGHT be an added bonus.

The experience is not what you think it is. Unfortunately, we were there from 10:30am until 1:30. This was supposed to be 2hours. We mostly sat around on the paddle boards waiting on the guide. We never saw anything. We paddled down the one way waiting for the guide, which was probably 20 minutes or so to just tell us to turn back around and go down by the bridge. We went down pass the bridge near of where the gulf starts and sat around just listening to facts and the guide tell us about him selves. Then, 10 minutes later he tells us to go back towards the tree area where we just came from. Not sure why we were going in circles this whole team. I don’t believe this is worth the amount of money we paid. It was 3 hours of just paddling up and down the water and never saw anything. Come to find out the water is too dirty this time of year but during the summer months the water is clear. Why give a tour when there is nothing to see. Very disappointed and ends up leaving without saying anything to the guide, because we were so annoyed.
Donald_H, Mar 2026
Great time on the water. Lots to look at. Eric was a great guide. You get periods to rest if you are worried about keeping up with the group.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for the 5 star review about your time on the water and with Eric! Were glad to hear you were to enjoy the tour and the pace and timing worked out great for everyone! Thanks for booking with Three Brothers Adventure Tours!
Amy_G, Mar 2026
We had a great morning out on the water. Our guide, Eric, was friendly and knew a lot about the local ecosystem and wildlife. He shared interesting facts and made sure the trip stayed relaxed. We didn’t see any dolphins or manatees on our trip, but that’s just how it goes with nature—wildlife shows up when it wants to. Still, paddling through the mangroves and along the coast was beautiful. We live here and spend plenty of time on the water, but we still really enjoyed ourselves. It was a fun way to see the area from a new angle and enjoy a few peaceful hours outside. If you remember that spotting wildlife is a bonus, not a promise, you’ll have a great time. We did see lots of birds. Bring bug spray because the no-see-ums at the launch were biting, and don’t forget your sunscreen!

The paddleboards were stable and easy to get on. We saw a wonderful dolphin playing with their food near us for at least 30 minutes. Really nice experience and exercise throughout the 2 hours.

My partner and I had flown in from San Francisco a couple of days before our tour, and nothing beats being out on the water!! It was my partner's first time on a paddleboard, and Eric patiently worked with all the first-timers, ensuring they were comfortable and ready for our time together out on the water.
During the tour, Eric shared quite a bit of information about the animals above and below water, which gave our tour an educational aspect I did not expect, but welcomed.
I was thrilled we did this tour and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area!

Leisurely paddle through the mangroves visiting local wildlife. The guide was knowledgeable and kind. We saw a playful dolphin that swam around us and caught a sheep head fish. He entertained us by throwing it in the air and re catching it over and over.

Our kayak experience was awesome. Eric was our guide and was exceptional. He suggested to our son to use the paddle board which he did and had a great experience. Eric was very helpful. We got to paddle with a dolphin and see a manatee along with several bird species

Eric was an excellent tour guide within Bonita Bay. We learned so much in addition to the fun of the kayaking. The scenery is beautiful and very peaceful - unfortunately, we didn’t see any dolphins or manatees yet the birds and other items kept us interested and excited throughout!
