• Big Hickory Island - Join us for a guided eco tour at Big Hickory Island in Bonita Springs. Choose a standard or CLEAR kayak or paddleboard. We’ll paddle at a relaxed pace in search of dolphins, birds, and manatees while sharing local eco-system info.

We are open 7 days a week and promise to provide you with exceptional service so come on out and let us show you how easy it is to get out and have some fun on the water! Our paddling routes are some of the best in Southwest Florida and allow you to experience the mangroves trails and tunnels, the Gulf of Mexico, and the beautiful Island beach! You will have the chance to be up close with marine life and it’s quite common to see dolphins, and sometimes manatees (summer).

We suggest you bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bottled water, and water shoes.

CLEAR kayaks have a limit of 425 pounds per boat and a max of 250 pounds per seat. Our Standard kayaks have higher limits and track better. Clear kayaks are for 2 people so please book even numbers. We have HOBIE pedal kayaks if needed. Contact us if questions!

Minimum age is 3 years old. We have youth sized PFDs but suggest that parents provide a quality, fitted PFD for children under 50 pounds.
