About this experience
This is our "get your feet wet kayak tour." Almost all other Naples and Marco Island Tour companies offer this route. The main difference will be our certified year-round Adventure Paddle Tours guides and our pledge as a 1% for the Planet Member. Adventure Paddle Tours is a true Eco-tour company, providing safe and entertaining tours while also giving back to the local wildlife refuges and conservation areas. We are not a pop-up kayak outfitter like so many other recently new outfits. If you are looking for something more unique with a higher chance to spot wildlife check out our number one selling Manatees and Mangroves tour.
