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.

100% fun!! - I have kayaked a lot in lakes and rivers, but this was my first time in the Gulf. I signed up for a group excursion but when I got to the event it turned out I was the only one going out. Getting in and out of the kayak was very easy. They have a dock with a hand rail so most anyone can easily get in the kayaks. My guide, Ron was very personable, fun and knowledgeable. We saw numerous birds, jumping fish and best of all dolphins! All in all it was a wonderful time and I would give it more then 5 stars if I could.

Manatees! - Spencer and the whole crew were amazing. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We got really lucky and had a bunch of manatees join us right when we began. Spencer also helped pull/tow our 11 year old friend when she got tired. Would recommend a million times over and can't wait to go again!

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.
