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!

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.

Excellent tour! - Hannah was a wonderful guide! My 72 year old mother and I enjoyed every minute of this tour. Hannah was flexible with our time, giving us a bit more time on the beach collecting shells and tailoring the rest of the tour accordingly. (For which we were so grateful!) She was also amazingly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. Best of all, she was fun to spend time with. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun with Paddle Naples - Our family had a GREAT TIME! We saw dolphins, walked on the beach, and explored around the mangroves. Our tour guide Mike taught us all about the area and even provided me extra help needed getting out of the kayak! Thank you Mike and Paddle Naples. 😃
