We had an absolute blast! The front desk manager Grant was fantastic. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He told us exactly what to do while we were out on the water exploring all the spots he recommended. I highly recommend tikipub and kayak excursions if you are in Ft. Myers. Whether you live here or are just visiting, you will not be disappointed.

Chase was very accommodating, professional, and kind. He helped me get my SUP to the launch, out of the water, and back to my vehicle. IN THE POURING RAIN! His attitude was amazing, and he cared. He made sure that we understood where we were with his map and google maps. He pointed out where we might have a greater chance at seeing dolphins and manatees. He was on the dock waving to us so we could locate it easier in the downpour upon our return. What a delight for this grandma to witness in a youth of today. He is an excellent asset to your business. I will highly recommend Kayak Excursions - Pelican Bay to my friends, neighbors, and clients.

Don't miss this! Chase was an amazing ambassador for all things kayak and SUP. He was extremely helpful and offered tips on the best way to make most of our excursion. My kayak was amazingly comfortable as was the life vest...and easy to manuever. Frankly, I will never go anywhere else!

Calib was awesome with assisting us. The app went down when I tried booking and he was able to assist us. I Even caught a few fish. The only negative was paying for parking on top of the kayak rental

We rented a two-person kayak and went on a 3 hour self-organized tour. The kayaks are in well shape and the team did a great job in explaining the tours and preparation of the kayak. They provide you with a map to follow a quite route. We were able to see fishes and birds and went through some mangroves tunels. The tour is a nice experience.

It was our first time kayaking as a family unit. We rented two tandem kayaks and set off. Once we passed the center marsh island, the breeze started and, instantly, I was transported to an adventure on the water. We paddled down to the beach. Along the way, we saw a couple of dolphins swimming side by side and a little later, a fish jumped out of the water. On the way back, we let the current do some of the work and used the oars to steer. Overall, very enjoyable and well worth the visit. Thanks to the two guys who helped us out. They’re very courteous and knowledgeable.
