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!

5.00We went kayaking on 11.12.25 and had a wonderful experience! The guides were enthusiastic and so patient with us. The kayaks are the BEST... The seat backs are very high so it was super comfortable. They provided water bags for our stuff, and took great pictures that we could access for free!!!!! Highly recommend this .. my friend said it was the highlight of our week on Marco Island.
