What To Expect
Your adventure begins at the Big Hickory Pass bridge, where Mike, owner and guide, will gear you up with dry bags, shelling bags, and premium lifejackets. After a quick lesson on our top-of-the-line Hobie kayaks—equipped with Mirage pedal drives for effortless cruising and the most comfortable seats—we’ll disembark to explore either the Gulf or Estero Bay estuary, depending on the tide. Along the way, we’ll always visit a shell-filled beach, either at the start or end of the trip. Watch for dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds as Mike shares his knowledge of the area. Complimentary family photos and wildlife shots are included, with the trip concluding back at the bridge.

5.00Fun tour with Mike. The hobie kayaks are so easy to operate. Didn't see as much wildlife as I would have liked, but that's luck of the draw. Did see some dolphin fins and several kinds of birds.

5.00This is my second time visiting Florida and booking with Mike. We have so much fun and can’t wait to go again next year. Mike and his team are great guides. We always see something new every time we go. We love the hobies vs regular kayaks and appreciate that all age groups are able to participate. This year I brought my 5yr old with and he had the time of his life. I would highly recommend booking with Mike if you’re looking for a fun activity to do while in Florida.

Not our favorite kayaking experience

2.00The clear kayaks were not worth the extra fee. We were absolutely soaked by the time we were done and we saw absolutely nothing through them. This was not our guides fault but all that we saw was 3 birds in the 2-1/2 hours.
