About this experience
Experience the natural beauty of Fort Myers Beach up-close with your choice of paddle craft - top quality standard kayaks, CLEAR kayaks, paddleboards, the only CLEAR paddleboards in SW Florida, and Hobie pedal kayaks if needed! Don't just take our word on what an awesome tour this is... see our TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards for 2022, 2023 and 2024! Paddle Naples tours are rated in the top 10% of all worldwide tours! Our guided eco-tour travels Estero Bay and the Gulf's most incredible paddling routes... including mangrove tunnels, quiet beaches, and the best shelling areas! This is prime habitat for dolphins (year round) and manatees (warm water months). Our guides are fun and knowledgeable (two biologists). CLEAR kayaks have a 425 pound limit and a max of 250 pounds per seat. Standard kayaks have higher limits and track better. CLEAR kayaks are for 2 people so an odd number of guests will also need a single kayak. Complementary photos included!

Detailed itinerary

Join us for a guided eco tour at Big Hickory Island, Bonita Springs, on South Fort Myers Beach. Choose a standard or CLEAR kayak or paddleboard. We'll paddle at a relaxed pace in search of dolphins, birds, and manatees while sharing local eco-system info.
We are open 7 days a week and promise to provide you with exceptional service so come on out and let us show you how easy it is to get out and have some fun on the water! Our paddling routes are some of the best in Southwest Florida and allow you to experience the mangroves trails and tunnels, the Gulf of Mexico, and the beautiful
Island beach! You will have the chance to be up close with marine life and it’s quite common to see dolphins, and sometimes manatees (summer).
We suggest you bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bottled water, and water shoes.
Minimum age is 3 years old. We have youth sized PFDs but suggest that parents provide a quality, fitted PFD for children under 50 pounds.
