Great! - This kayak tour was by far the most fun we have ever experienced. It was of course a beautiful setting and also very nice to go through the mangrove. But our tour guide, Nick, has made the experience even more fun. He knew a lot of interesting facts about the environment, the animals and nature. But I really mean the fun facts and not the standard stories. We have also seen dolphins up close several times. All in all a great experience!

PADDLE NAPLES IS GREAT - We had an amazing day on the kayak tour with Paddle Naples. What a memorable experience as we enjoyed the quiet time paddling through the mangroves and the stop/walk on the beautiful beach. Our guide Nick was wonderful. He took his time and was very informative about the native wildlife and the area. We would love to do it again. A must do tour and ask for Nick.

Perfect for exploration and education!! - Definitely recommend this excursion if you want to learn about the mangroves, islands, hurricanes, shells, birds, wildlife, etc! Our tour guide Nick was very knowledgeable about the area. He did a great job getting to know us all, sharing recommendations, and info personalized to us! We paddled, and also had time to walk the island and search for shells! Loved how he took pictures along the way as well, helped to document the memory!
