Highlights
  • Earth Naturals Kayaking - Join us for a guided eco tour at Big Hickory Island in Bonita Springs. 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!

During a guided eco-tour 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.

CLEAR kayaks have a total passenger weight limit of 425 pounds per boat and a maximum of 250 pounds per seat. Our Standard single and tandem kayaks have higher limits and track better through the water. Contact us if you have questions!

I would book again - Hannah was great! She was very knowledgeable of different bird species, the vegetation, and water life. She cared about picking up trash which is a personal favorite and had patience for us to witness a dolphin playing. I'd book with her again! I traveled solo and felt safe.

Hannah was an Amazing tour guide!! - Hannah was our tour guide and she did an amazing job. Not only did she explain everything about the tour very well, but she was also super friendly and fun to talk to. I loved learning about the different trees, birds, seashells, fish, and the dolphins that we saw; and she did an amazing job telling us all the facts. Thanks Hannah this tour is one I will always remember!!

Wonderful kayak experience - Hannah did an amazing job on our tour. She was fun and very knowledgeable. We saw many different birds and even a dolphin. There is a mid-way sandbar we stopped at to swim in the ocean and collect shells. She even explained the different types of shells. 100% recommended this tour.

Our kayak tour with Cameron - 5/25 Cameron was our guide. Our 31 yo son Ryan is Autistic and has several other health issues. Cameron seem to be immediately comfortable with Ry. He tried to include Ry in conversation, used an extended paddle to help Ry focus to see the birds he was talking about. Cameron made every effort to make Ry feel special&apart of our tour. Cameron amazed us with all his knowledge on the chemistry of the water, bird species with interesting facts about each one, Florida history facts.Cameron was super personable. Our Kayak tour will be a highlight of our trip! Thank you Cameron!
