Family Trip to Big Hickory - Our guide Joey was amazing! He did a great job of pointing out hurricane rebuilding efforts, showing us some cool birds and mangroves, and sharing facts about Ft. Meyers! We had a great trip and a super fun time shelling on the private item!

We really liked it. - We did the kayak tour and it was a lot of fun. Next to the two dolphins, the break on the sandbank was a dream. Our guide was attentive and took pictures. You can get these free of charge via the Whats app.

Easy Kayak paddle - Easy paddle on Estero Bay. Especially great to see dolphins up close. And the stop on the Gulf beach at Little Hickory Island provided beautiful views.
