Always a great time with Paddle Naples! - We are locals and have used Paddle Naples multiple times when we have guests in town. We always have a great experience and learn something new each time. We had a great tour with Hannah! She was friendly and so knowledgeable!

2 hour guided kayak tour with paddle Naples - A great trip. Harder work than we had imagined as we werre paddling for 90mins. Nick was both a Knowledgable and helpful guide and as we had a very excludive group - just the two of us and Nick - it really enhanced our trip. We didnt see dolphins or manatee but saw plenty of orher wildlife. Not sure the clear kayaks add much (maybe on other trips on other days they have) but they certainly make the photos look great and Nick took loads of pictures which were provided free of charge at the end of the afternoon . Woild highly recommend this tour!

Kayak tour of Bonita Springs - Cam was our guide on this adventure. We went through mangrove tunnels and saw dolphins up close! We also had great bird sightings and improved our kayaking skills! Cam is a great tour guide. You will have a blast and learn a ton!

Great nature watching excursion. - We had a great time with Nick who took us around on paddle boards. We saw birds, learned all about shells, and even caught a dolphin and a shark. Sadly it wasn’t manatee season so didn’t see any of those but had a great time otherwise. This is great trip for folks who want to learn about the local ecosystem.
