Guided Kayak Tour and Shelling Experience

My partner and I had an absolute blast on our guided kayaking trip! This is our first time in Florida, and this experience has definitely been a major highlight. The entire process was pretty seamless, the owner was cheerful and friendly (something we have not found lacking so far in our visit) and Kevin was an awesome guide! I wish I took my phone out and got photos, but we were able to see a dolphin AND a manatee, and we found some awesome shells while hanging out on the beach! 10/10 would recommend to anyone staying in the area!

A Great Experience

We had the best time!! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He took time to let us enjoy watching the manatees swim by, took us through mangrove tunnels, and shelling at the beach. This trip was the perfect length of time and well worth our money. Highly recommend booking with the owner to save on fees. Our group consisted of adults and teenagers and it’s been a highlight of our trip so far!

Fun family experience

Fun family adventure 😊 Bring your muscles with you. Once you get the hang of it and a good rhythm going you just cruise across the water. We also had a dolphin come up close. 🐬

Best guided kayak tour!!

We had the best time on the 2.5 hour kayak tour. The equipment was very nice, the owner & guide helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We paddled through gorgeous, mangroves & estuaries. We even saw dolphin up close and personal, as they were feeding on bait fish. The stop at Big Hickory beach was amazing as well. The water was clear and the shells plentiful. Would definitely go again and highly recommend.

Fun on the water

We are visiting Fort Meyers Beach for a few days. This was a fantastic kayak trip. We saw manatees, collected shells and kayaked through the mangroves. I would recommend this trip.

Awesome day at Big Hickory

We had a great time today with our kayak adventure. Joey was great at accommodating us with single and tandem kayaks and handing a mistake I made during booking. The location was easy to find. Kevin was our guide and he was great. He provided a lot of information on the bay and the wildlife. We even got to see dolphins playing and jumping!

Great Time Kayaking Big Hickory Pass

We had a great time kayaking Big Hickory Pass, especially going through the mangroves. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and its history. We saw several dolphins, a skate and an iguana swimming across the channel.
