Great enjoyed it
Nice quiet trip through the mangrove with an almost certainty that you will see lamentines and even a dolphin if you are lucky. Guide was a quiet young man who explained a lot about nature and its whims. Definitely recommended

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!

What a paddle-perfect day! 🌊🛶 We love hearing that your time at Pelican Bay felt like a front-row seat to nature’s greatest hits—manatees, dolphins, and even some VIP (Very Important Pelicans 🐦😉). Chris will be all smiles knowing he helped make your adventure extra special—he’s got a knack for turning great trips into unforgettable ones! Thanks for the awesome recommendation and for making waves with us. Come back anytime—there’s always more magic waiting out on the water! ✨ -Stefan

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.

What an incredible day on the water 🐬🌿—8 manatees is a seriously lucky sighting, and a mom with her baby? That’s the kind of moment you don’t forget 🥹💙 We’re so glad you felt the spirit of the tour the way it’s meant to be: wildlife first, always. Respecting the manatees and dolphins isn’t just a policy here—it’s the whole heartbeat of what we do 🐢✨ Huge shoutout to Michael for being fantastic out there 🙌—he’ll love hearing this. And thank you for making the trip from Pelican Bay and sticking with us across locations; we’re glad the experience stayed consistent no matter where you launched from. Sounds like the only thing missing was a captain’s hat for you at the end 😄🚤 -Stefan

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.
Operator response
What an awesome adventure! 🌿🚣♂️ Those narrow mangrove passages sound like a hidden little jungle maze—nature’s own waterpark, but way cooler 😄✨ And spotting manatees for the first time? That’s pure magic 🐋💙—they definitely know how to steal the show! So glad you all had such a great time making memories. Thanks for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back for round two of the adventure anytime! 🌊🌞 -Stefan

Highlight of our Fort Myers trip! Looking forward coming back next year!
My husband, 9 yo daughter and I had a wonderful time on our kayak trip today. Jake and Maxwell were very helpful! The mangrove tunnel was awesome!
Operator response
Sounds like you turned a simple day on the water into a full-on Southwest Florida adventure story! 🚣♂️🌴 We’re so glad your family had such a wonderful time exploring the mangrove tunnels—those winding passages never fail to steal the show 😄 The kayak experience hits different when you’ve got curious eyes in the back seat and a bit of adventure around every bend! Jake and Maxwell will love hearing they helped make your Fort Myers outing smooth and memorable—nothing better than great guides to elevate a day on the water 👍 Between the calm waterways, possible wildlife viewing surprises 🐬 (dolphins cruising by or a gentle manatee moment if luck’s on your side), and the magic of the mangroves, it sounds like you got the full experience in the best way possible. Thanks for choosing us for your kayaking adventure—we hope this is just the first of many Southwest Florida memories on the water! 🌊✨ -Stefan

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.
Operator response
What a fantastic way to spend the day on the water 🌿🛶! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed a peaceful paddle through the mangroves and got to soak in all that quiet Southwest Florida beauty around Fort Myers. Sam will love hearing this—he has a real talent for making sure everyone feels confident and comfortable, no matter their pace. “Slow and steady” is basically the unofficial motto of a perfect kayaking day here 😄 It’s wonderful that you were able to take your time and enjoy the guided tour experience without any pressure—just smooth water, curious corners of the mangrove tunnels, and plenty of chances for wildlife viewing along the way. You never know when a dolphin might make a surprise appearance or a gentle manatee might drift by to say hello 🐬🌊 Thanks for choosing our kayak rentals and joining the adventure with us. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxed, memory-filled outing anytime! 🌞 -Stefan
