Description

Follow your entertaining biologist tour guide through the mangroves of south Naples & Marco Island on this 1.5 - 2 Hour adventure. Look for dolphins, birds, crabs, fish, conch shells & manatees! Along the way, we'll be teaching you about the mangroves, the history of the area & pointing out any wildlife we find. Did you mention cheesy dad jokes included? Yes... our tour guides actually have a sense of humor! We've been at this more than 10 years. Free photos of you and your family are always included and given to you after the tour. And don't worry, there are NO ALLIGATORS! We have single seater kayaks for ages 12+ with comfortable high back seats & cupholders. We also have tandem kayaks for adults with children ages 3-12. We do NOT offer "hobie pedal" kayaks because they can't go into the shallow mangrove tunnels like our kayaks can. We have small groups of up to 12 people. Our competitors will stick you in a tandem kayak with strangers & 30 other people. Yikes! Book with us today!

Would go again

We had a fantastic time. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The kids that were in another group on our tour were extremely loud and splashing around so we didn't get to see any wildlife, but I still highly recommend going.

Super fun and engaging!

We had the absolute best time on this mangrove kayak trip! Paddling through and exploring the stunning mangrove tunnels was a breathtaking experience. Our trusty guides were fantastic—not only were they highly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem, but they also made the entire tour fun and engaging. A surprising highlight was getting to step out and spend time on the mud flat, which was a unique touch we didn't expect. If you are looking for an adventure with amazing guides, book this trip! Our family of four included a four year old and even he had fun helping to paddle the kayak!

A great kayak tour through the mangroves…

A kayak tour through the mangroves on Marco Island. Our tour guide, Chandler was great at explaining the history of the mangroves and pointing out wildlife. The tour was about 2 hours. Highly recommend this tour with family or friends, being out in nature is wonderful when on vacation.

Safety first. Very informative and great photos.

We experienced some bad weather and the guides and Chandler handled the situation exceptionally well. Also some of the kayakers had trouble navigating through the tunnels and they did a great job getting them back safely. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic team. My son and I had a great time and will definitely go again.

Kayaking with family

We made a very nice trip through the mangrove. Our guide was very funny and knew a lot. As soon as our kayak hit the water we were accompanied by a group of dolphins. K
