Great tour - Great trip. Saw many different birds and dolphins. Guide Ty was very knowledgeable. Would definitely do this again or rent a paddle boat.

Great Kayak Tour - We had an excellent time on our excursion with Ty. Though we didn’t see any dolphins, we saw the giant iguana and many types of birds. Ty gave us lots of information about the wildlife, plants, the hurricane recovery and area history. We have kayaked previously, but enjoyed going with a guide who knows the “trails” through the waterways and who could tell us about what we were seeing. We would definitely book a trip again with Kayak Excursions!

Local kayakers rescued brown pelican - Sky did an incredible job on our tour! She was very knowledgeable of the local habitat and wildlife. We came across a brown pelican ensnared and hooked in fishing line and we were able to save it and take it back to the dock to get the help it needed! We will never forget our trip thank you!!

Our fourth year and it’s always great! - Our RV club has had many rallies in Fort Myers Beach and each time a bunch of us do the guided echo tour on kayaks. This year, 2024, our guide was Skye. She was wonderful! Pointed out the many birds we passed in the mangroves and was knowledgeable about them. We highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic adventure! - Our tour guide, Mike, was great. He was extremely helpful, good natured and funny. The tour took us through mangrove covered canals then into open water where a manatee swam right by my kayak! A lovely way to spend about 3 hours…thank you!

Kayak Eco Tour - Jessica and Ruby were fantastic guides…their knowledge of the wildlife and plantlife was amazing. And, while we did not get to see any dolphins or manatees, our great conversation and smooth waters made the trip relaxing and memorable.

Tour guide was... - Tour guide was knowledgeable and nice. She tried hard to get some stuff for us to see and make it enjoyable. It was ok but somewhat long for the kids. Think one hour is too short and closer to 3 is kind of long so need something in between. Saw the fin of dolphins and some bubbles or nose from manatee. But was not able to get close enough to get a real picture. Guess it’s due to being in natural environment not at zoo. Guide found some shell life and starfish to touch. Also a mangrove crab to view. Lots of exercise too steering for so long. Launch into water and getting back in was great.
