Kayak tour Big Hickory Pass - Joey was very prompt and on time. He took us out in the kayaks with his assistant Kevin. They were both friendly and full of information! We saw a lot of manatees, picked shells on a small island and went through the mangroves. Overall, it was a fun time, highly recommend!

Exquisite Excursion - We had an amazing time on the kayak tour! The guides were great. We saw multiple manatees up close, and the shelling was world class. We would absolutely do this tour again!

Good way to explore Fort Myers - Very fun and casual experience. Good way to spend a morning/afternoon if you are new to the area. You get to spend time looking for shells and then you explore some of the mangroves and potentially getting to see manatees or dolphins.

Awesome tour!!! - Joey was an excellent guide! Our tour was amazing. We got up close and personal with many manatees and saw dolphins in the distance! Shelling on the beach was a perfect stop in the trip. Tip: wear polarized sunglasses for an even better view under the water. Will definitely do this again next time we come to FMB!

Joey our tour guide was... - Joey and the other gentleman (didn’t get his name) were knowledgeable of the area and pointed out different things along the way. We were lucky enough to see a pod of 5 dolphins on the way in, perfect way to end the trip. Our little one loved the shelling part of the tour and found many treasures.
