Beautiful water and a guided map! - So amazing! It was beautiful weather, the water was calm, and Mike was awesome with explaining the map to us! It laid out clearly some cool areas, and even took us through some mangrove tunnels (perfect for pictures!) highly recommend checking this out, I’m sure the guided tour is also a hit!! A beautiful area with wildlife galore, and definitely the BEST rental in Bonita and the surrounding area!!

Fabulous day on the water! - We rented Kayaks from Mike's Coastal expeditions and had a blast! He had everything ready and waiting for us when we arrived. He explained the water conditions and suggested a route for us, which was awesome. He got us all safely in our kayaks and greeted us on our return. We couldn't have asked for better service or a better day on the water. Thank you Mike! We will all see you again very soon.

Awesome hourly kayak rental! - Great memorial day kayak paddle. The equipment was all in great shape and everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Showed us the map of the bay and had recommended routes and times that each could take to complete. Very nice family ran business.

Wonderful experience - I actually went kayaking last week for the first time with a friend who got me to get out of the house. I had such a very calm, naturist attitude and soothing vibe when going on the adventure. It was Mother’s Day and Mike and his father were available to let us come and tour the kayaks. One, that’s called dedication to take on two people on Mother’s Day. Two, they were very welcoming, personal and great attitudes. Three, mikes father teaches you a lot about the currents and mangroves as well as the wildlife in this little escapade. I was truly impressed and had such a relaxing time that I’m already in talks with family to try one of his bigger adventures with the kayaks. If you’re looking for nice attitudes, personable people and efficient. I recommend Mikes expedition!!!

Just Do It! It’s Great Fun for the Family! - We loved kayaking through the mangrove tunnels and around Estero Bay. Mike’s dad was very helpful in selecting the perfect kayaks for our family and explaining the map of Big Hickory, and he answered my texts when we were on the water. We will definitely come back to Mike’s Big Hickory Self-Guided Kayaking again next year!

Second time around doesn't disappoint - This was a second rental with Mike. My husband and I rented a kayak and cruised around the mangrove tunnels, beached on a little sandy island and just enjoyed our time together. Mike is the kind of guy a person wants to support because he is providing a great service at great prices. I'm so happy to see his company growing. We are excited to rent with MCE again!

Best part of our trip! - Self-guided tour: Great family fun! Mike is very knowledgeable; He was interested in our being prepared for a great experience (our first kayak adventure). We stopped along the way spending time on the beach collecting shells and taking more pics. Saw dolphins under the bridge! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Mike makes this tour the best!! - Mike’s knowledge and obvious love of the area and landscape are what made this tour stand out from any we’ve ever been on. We saw beauty and wildlife up close and personal the entire time from the comfort of the Hobie pedal-powered kayaks. These were great for those of us not in kayaking shape! I would definitely recommend this outfit over any in the area. We’ve been coming Florida for twenty five years and Mike is the best.
