Pelican Bay at its best! - We had the most amazing kayak excursion at Pelican Bay! 🌊🛶 Our guide, Chris, was absolutely fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see manatees, dolphins, and so many beautiful birds (even a few rare ones!). It truly felt like a one-of-a-kind adventure, and everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re thinking about booking a tour—do it! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable guide, respectful of wildlife - Had a great time on the manatee and dolphin eco tour. We saw at least 8 manatees including a mom and a baby. Our guide Michael was fantastic. We actually left from their Pelican bay location but I could find where to review that tour. But it was the same company. I choose this tour because of their commitment to respecting the wildlife and not exploiting them and I was not disappointed. The guide was very clear that the animals safety and well being come first.

Do it - We had a wonderful time. The narrow passageways thru the mangroves were cool. We saw several manatees which was a first for any of us. Would recommend.

Nice tour for family - We had a wonderful kayaking experience through the mangroves. The scenery was peaceful and unique, and it was such a great way to explore nature up close. Our guide Sam was incredibly helpful, patient, and encouraging—especially since my kids and I were moving a bit slower than the rest of the group. They made sure we felt comfortable the entire time and never rushed us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a memorable and relaxing outing that I would highly recommend to families.

Healthy, fun day. - We took this tour as experienced kayakers. I was visiting my parents in Fort Myers, we have kayaked in other areas of Florida but not here. We like the guilded tour because we didn't know where to go. Our tourguide Jake was very knowledgeable and patient with the group. We took the 3 hour ecotour and there were some inexperienced people, but he was great with them, explaining everything. The tour group size was perfect. We thought we might be the only ones but there were about 10 people, which was perfect. We went through the mangroves, and in the ocean, and had a little beach stop that breaks up the 3 hours. There was a lot of paddling and we were in the ocean and against the wind, so I recommend this tour for people who are healthy and strong. Maxwell is the person who greeted us, got us set up with our life vests and helped us out of the kayaks when we got back. He was great too.

Thrilling - I really enjoyed kayaking through the narrow mangroves. I would have never had the nerve to do that on my own and would probably have gotten lost. Our guide was knowledgeable. We saw flying fish, dolphins, a small shark and many birds.
