Adventurous Sunset Cruise with Nick!

5.00Nick was an awesome guide and we loved the experience. We learned so much about all the living creatures; flying and in the water. Nick was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He took great pictures and shared them so we didn’t have to bother taking our phones. Very fun and interesting sunset cruise.
Don’t Miss This Adventure!

5.00My husband and I did the Clear Kayak Sunset & Light Tour with Paddle Naples. We met up with the tour guide, Nick. The first priority was a safety review, including legal info like you cannot keep shells with a live animal. (Makes sense.) We launched in a two person CLEAR Kayak! I had never seen one before, but it allowed us the see everything in the water below us. We went quite a distance through branching waterways. Nick was on a paddle board guiding us through the right way. We pulled up on a beach and got out to explore the area. Nick was so outstanding in pointing out different shells. He told us about the birds and animals in the area. He pointed out several birds, ospreys and frigate birds, as they flew overhead. His knowledge of the environment was truly impressive! He was so friendly and answered the questions everyone in our small group had. He found shells typical of the area that he shared with us. (No living creature in the shell.) The sunset that night was spectacular! Nick also took pics along the way that he transferred to us at the end. The trip back was so special as there were LED lights in the bottom of the kayak. This was the best experience of our trip!
Fun outing with Nick!

5.00The tour guide "Nick" was very knowledgeable and personal throughout the tour. Nick made sure everyone stayed safe by reviewing and reminding every one of the rules and regulations while out on the water and the island. The views and sunset were breathtaking!! The app needs updating for identifying the truck and trailer- as the location was a bit confusing to find. (it's just a pull off and is on the left side going north from Naples 1/4 mile past the bridge) be sure to use the restrooms before going, leave belongings in car, bring water and wear comfortable water shoes/sandals. Beware- you may get wet sitting in the kayaks! Bug repellent & sunscreen is suggested too.

5.00A beautiful night time activity! Although we did not see many sea creatures, we enjoyed Nick’s vast knowledge about the area and wildlife! He was safety conscious, helpful, and entertaining. We will be back for more activities with Paddle Naples:)

5.00My boyfriend and I did the night kayak tour with Paddle Naples, and it was beyond our expectations. Our tour guide, Nick, was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the wildlife. One of the best guides I’ve ever had. You head out at sunset, and once it gets dark, the kayaks light up (one of my favorite parts) it was absolutely magical! The entire experience felt so peaceful and special. We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves, which made it feel very intimate, but I’m sure it would have been just as enjoyable with a larger group. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Nick as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience.
Fun Kayaking Tour

5.00My sister and I did this tour based on reviews we had read. We are so glad we did! The meet-up area was easy to find and has plenty of parking. Nick did a great job guiding us to the island. He was very knowledgeable about the area, plants, and wildlife. You can tell he loves the area and his job.
