You gotta do it! - My wife and I had a great time. We chose individual kayaks instead of the tandem (because she’s a back seat driver!). If you’re thinking about a tour, ask for Nick. Very knowledgeable and engaging guide who took care of the whole group and took loads of pics for everyone (the guy knows how to multitask). Thanks Nick!

A perfect day on the water! - Cameron was an amazing guide. He paced the tour perfectly to match our group! We kayaked through gorgeous mangroves teaming with wildlife. Cameron told us about everything we encountered. Took a break to hunt for seashells on a gorgeous white sand beach. Can’t believe the size and variety of shells we found and he gave great information about all of them. A perfect day on the water!!!

Great tour, beautiful area. - Hannah was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the area and the sealife. The kayaking was fun and good exercise. Would highly recommend. The meeting point is at a pullout on the Big Hickory road, not a building, so use restrooms before.

Scroll No More! You Have Found the BEST! - Nick was the ultimate guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and history. We learned so much! He also takes pictures and sends them to your IPhone or email. I am no stranger to Paddle Naples. This was my second trip. My friend is an avid bird watcher and saw plenty. She was super excited. We will definitely be back.

Highlight of the beach trip - We had so much fun shelling and learning about the wildlife and eco systems. Went to beaches only accessible by boat so the shells were amazing
