Incredible kayak tour - I can’t say enough good things about our guided kayak tour in Hickory Pass, Bonita Springs. From start to finish, it was one of the most peaceful and memorable experiences I’ve had in Florida. Joey was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the local ecosystem — pointing out wildlife, explaining the mangroves, and making sure everyone felt comfortable on the water. The scenery was unreal. Crystal-clear water, quiet mangrove tunnels, dolphins in the distance… it felt like being dropped into a nature documentary. The pace was perfect too — relaxing but still adventurous. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this tour is a must-do. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, calming, and unforgettable way to explore Bonita Springs. Five stars all the way!

Best experience ever in kayaking! - I cannot say enough about how wonderful Kayak Joe was in helping us to prepare, organize, and ensure that our large amount of attendees had a wonderful experience. Regardless of the skill level, they provided instruction and made everyone comfortable. This was the highlight of a four day annual meeting in Bonita Springs!!

Fun activity to do with a family - Joey was a great guide and very knowledgeable of the area. The area was beautiful to kayak in, and the waters were so peaceful that my the whole family, including my parents who are 65+, easily got the hang of it as beginners. Would recommend!

Be sure to do it when you are in the area - A great tour through the mangroves. We have seen many beautiful birds and admired the many plants. On a small island we made another stop to collect shellfish. Great! On the way there we even had a dolphin very close to the kayak. Younger children can paddle with an adult in a kayak and older children can already do the tour in their own kayak. It was incredible and Joey made a great tour possible. He knows well and knows where animals and places worth seeing are. A great guy!
