About this experience
Experience the natural beauty and marine life of Southwest Florida up-close with a CLEAR kayak! Don't just take our word on what an awesome tour this is... see our TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards for 2022-2023-2024! Paddle Naples' tours are in the top 10% of all worldwide tours!
Our Five-Star guided eco-tours and rentals take you through Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico’s most incredible paddling routes... including mangrove tunnels, secluded beaches, and prime shelling areas! This is prime habitat for dolphins (year round) and manatees (mostly warm water months).
We use top quality standard kayaks and paddleboards that are comfortable and easy to paddle. We have CLEAR paddleboards too, and HOBIE pedal kayaks if needed.
Complementary photos included!
Looking for something truly unique? Try our CLEAR Kayak Sunset Glow Tour. We will paddle to a secluded beach for shelling until sunset, then we turn on the colorful underwater LED lights and have a great time paddling back!
