Exceeded expectations! - My boyfriend and I did the night kayak tour with Paddle Naples, and it was beyond our expectations. Our tour guide, Nick, was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the wildlife. One of the best guides I’ve ever had. You head out at sunset, and once it gets dark, the kayaks light up (one of my favorite parts) it was absolutely magical! The entire experience felt so peaceful and special. We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves, which made it feel very intimate, but I’m sure it would have been just as enjoyable with a larger group. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Nick as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience.

Lots of fun! - My sister and I did this tour based on reviews we had read. We are so glad we did! The meet-up area was easy to find and has plenty of parking. Nick did a great job guiding us to the island. He was very knowledgeable about the area, plants, and wildlife. You can tell he loves the area and his job.

Best kayaking experience ever! - This was a great experience. Fun, beautiful and even educational. We loved the kayaking and the island was gorgeous with the most amazing sand ever. We learned about shells, birds, ocean life and the impacts of recent hurricanes.

Very fun and extremely educational. We got way more than we expected. We highly recommend this activity! - Nick was the best! 5/5 maybe even 6/5. Use the bad they give you and collect shells! This was absolutely the best bang for your buck! Do it!
