This is one of Fort Myer's most beautiful sections of the beach where there are no hotels or homes. We may paddle along side the beach or make a brief stop depending on a few different factors.

Such a fun morning with Brady, who was so knowledgeable and engaging. We each took a board, despite having no real experience, and loved going down the mangrove passages.
We a great experience, tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dolphins also kept everyone entertained
The experience was wonderful from start to finish! Thank you Eric! Everything was thoughtfully explained, from the booking process and location details to what to wear and what to bring. Getting into the kayaks was easy, and the instructions on how to maneuver and control the kayak were clear and helpful. Our guide, Eric, also made the experience especially enjoyable by sharing interesting facts about manatees and dolphins, including their habitat, behavior, and hunting techniques. The combination of excellent instruction, beautiful surroundings, and fascinating information made this an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this tour!
Such a fun and relaxing experience. Our guide, Eric, is as very knowledgeable about the ecosystem. He kept the tour entertaining, and I was impressed how he remembered everyone in the groups name!
Guide was 45 minutes late to a 2 hour “tour.” We didn’t go anywhere we couldn’t have gone on our own with rentals - most of the tour was right around the bridge we drove over and very public areas with docks and we didn’t see any wildlife (which I realize they can’t control, but it would be nice to bring the group somewhere interesting if there isn’t wildlife to view). The guide mentioned that earlier tours are better for spotting wildlife. I’ve been on some great eco tours in Florida, but this was not one. Their equipment was in good shape.
Lots of fun, Brandon was a great guide! Very knowledgeable knows the area well and was able to give brief history and fun facts regarding wildlife
Eric did fabulous job. We were so lucky have 4 dolphins by us. Was so cool have them swim between us. We didn't get to see any manatees but still great tour.
It was our kids 16 and 13 favorite thing that we did while we were in Florida. There was a lot of stuff to look and guide was very friendly and knew a lot.
Really fun time. Eric was a wonderful tour guide. We saw 2 manatee and went through some beautiful mangrove tunnels.
Eric was great! We saw dolphins and manatees. He was so knowledgeable about the ocean wildlife.
The guide was amazing. Justin was very informative on everything we experienced. Very polite. We didnt see any manatees, dolphins or sea turtles at all. It sucked because that's what I paid to see.
We had a good time. Unfortunately part of the group were having trouble with the kayaking and paddle boats and since it was only one tour guide today our experience was a little compromised but i commend the guide for being patience with them
Great stories, nice route, knowledgeable guide.,......................................................
When we initially signed up, it was not realizing we were going to have a 12hr travel delay. 3 brothers was totally understanding, and happy to reschedule our tour (thank goodness, because Viator did not have any other resolutions!) So that alone, spoke volumes to me! We initially did sign up, anticipating to get to see more manatee and dolphins. We did see a few dolphins, and a Mama and calf manatee; but the sightings were brief and short. Although we didn’t see as much wildlife as we were hoping, I still think the experience was absolutely phenomenal! My family and I are avid kayakers, both back at home, and whilst traveling. I’ve noticed that paddle boarding has really become quite popular, so I wanted to finally try it for the 1st time. I am so happy I chose this particular tour with Eric, to try it as a first timer. His instructions were clear, concise, he was very patient and understanding. Not only that, but I think Eric was an exemplary tour guide. He had all the traits we find incredibly important in a tour guide. He was knowledgeable, courteous, cultured, and a great communicator. Although we have no control over the wildlife, I still would HIGHLY recommend this tour, for the experience alone. My favorite part, was getting to paddle board through the mangroves. I highly recommend this tour, and that you request Eric as your guide!
John was awesome!!! We got to do all kinds of new things it was great and we saw a beautiful dolphin.
Our experience with Eric was great. He was super friendly. Taught all of us how to use the Oars, Kayaks and paddle boards. He taught us how to look for dolphins and manatees. We sadly did not see any. But we still had lots of fun on the water. He stopped and picked up a sea urchin to show us all. I would 100% recommend Eric!
Awesome experience with great guides, Brandon and John! Wear water shoes because oyster shells on bottom and can cut feet. Be sure to bring water too - it was hot! Saw manatee, variety of large birds, and a ray but dolphins were hiding today. Mangroves are very cool! Highly recommend
Eric was very knowledgeable about the area. Very patient with new paddle boarder.
Great time and beautiful! John was a great tour guide. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any manatees or dolphins but it was still a great two hours!
We had an amazing time. We go to see a dolphin up close. Eric was also great, knowledgeable and very informative and funny.
Eric was wonderful! Very kind and patient. I was able to stand on the paddle board but didn't feel steady so we changed it to a kayak and he was so chill.
Cool for $72. Saw a couple of dolphins. Unfortunately no manatee. Nice day on the water and Eric our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and environment.
Such an amazing experience! We rented the paddle boards(1st timer) Eric was an awesome guide.and we saw 3 manatees, dolphins, cool birds. He even saved a baby bat that fell into the water and retuned him to his home. True nature lover. I would recommend this experience to everyone
We had such a fantastic time on this paddleboard tour in Florida! It was our first time paddleboarding and it went really well—super beginner-friendly and a great experience overall. The water was calm, which made it easy to enjoy the surroundings. While we didn’t see as many animals as we had hoped (no manatees, unfortunately), we did get to see dolphins up close, which was incredible. We also spotted some birds, fish, and even bats hanging out under the highway bridge—such a cool surprise! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. I’d definitely recommend bringing a water bottle, especially on a warm day. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and something I’d absolutely do again. Highly recommend!
Last minute booking, could not have been more perfect!!! We saw dolphins, a manatee a rare red heron, egrets, osprey. Eric was the best guide, knowledgeable about everything. Definitely recommend this tour!!!
Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable on the area and wildlife. Had a great time as did the other guests on the tour
Eric and Brady were great guides. I would book again!
Awesome guide and we really enjoyed our kayak experience..very personable and knowledgeable..wonderful experience
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - My wife and I took our 9 and 12 year old girls on this morning outing (10:30am - 12:30pm). We have paddle boarded and kayaked before, but never on the estuaries and back waters of the Gulf... it was an excellent time! The tour guide, Eric, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgable. We didn't see any manatees, but we did see a stingray and a dophin. The actual board time was very fun too. We were a little unsure going in to this trip as far as what to rent as far as safety, maneuverability, stability, etc. (kayak or paddle board). We chose paddle boards, and were completely comfortable the whole time. There were a few spots with unavoidable wind, but nothing felt even remotely dangerous or uncontrollable. The pace was also laid back too, which was nice... and very accomodating for a large group or family. Keep up the great work Eric, and Three Brothers. While we like to check out different adventures, if we ever decide to hop on SUP's in Bonita Springs again, you'll be our first call! ~The Tacoma Family
Jesse and Eric were excellent! Jesse got us checked in and shared history of the company and the brothers. Eric shared some great info on the sea life and kept everyone engaged. We were very lucky and saw 2 dolphins interacting g and swimming amongst our tour group and for some great photos and videos. Thanks for a great time. Highly recommend.
This was a fun experience. Eric was a great guide. He educated us on some of the wildlife we might see (unfortunately we didn’t see any). It was still a fun experience. He and the other guide were very patient and helpful. He even taught those who did not know how to use a paddle board how to use one.
Excellent tour! Eric and Brady were very knowledgeable, and safety conscious! I highly recommend this tour company! They knew each of us by name!
Our tour guide Eric was awesome! He did a great job of explaining everything and was very friendly. I would absolutely come back for another tour!🐬
The excursion was misleading from the advertisement. Of course, no guarantee to see much, but likely to see nothing. The water was not clear as in the picture either. We were also informed and delayed an hour from our initial time which was not a big deal, but then waited quite a bit after we got there to get started as well. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this. It should be advertised as kayaking or paddle boarding, without mention of dolphins, manatees, sea turtle viewing. Those MIGHT be an added bonus.
Easy to get to, plenty of parking, guides were very friendly and helpful. Our guide John was informative and did well for his first time out. All different levels of kayaking and paddle boarding experience can easily take tour, guides were helpful to all. By the end all paddle boarders were standing. Not the best day for wildlife, we saw one dolphin at the end. However, nature is unpredictable and not a reflection of the tour. We would definitely recommend and will do the tour again in the future.
I had an excellent experience with 3 brothers tours. My guide was Eric, and he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the water ways, flora and fauna and general information about the area. Id highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys paddling or being on the water.
We write this review, because of the great experience that Eric provided, as our paddling tour guide! Despite the dolphins and manatees not appearing during our excursion, we very much enjoyed paddling through the mangrove channels. Eric provided interesting facts about manatees, dolphins, local birds, and also a bit of history of Fort Myers. He is very personable, and we definitely enjoyed our time. Eric made the effort to remember our names, (and there were a lot of people in our group!) Great job with everything, Eric!
Eric was awesome. Had a great time out there thanks to him being a great guide and teacher for paddle boarding. I was impressed how he remembered everyone’s name on the tour too.
This was such a fun time. Eric was our guide and did an amazing job. He shared information along the way about the area and animals. He made sure we all knew how to stand and maneuver the paddle boards. I would absolutely recommend this tour on your next vacation.
Eric was a great tour guide, very funny and personable (also good with names)! He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great experience overall.
The tour lasted the full two hours promised. The kayaking was fun, but we did not see a single dolphin manatee or sea turtle. I think it could be more accurately described as a just a kayaking tour. The tour was much more focused on the mangrove trees and small islands. Felt very misleading after reading the description and not actually experiencing what was described for the tour. The tour guide was friendly and helpful. I am interested in knowing what the probability of seeing manatees, dolphins and sea turtles even is on this specific tour.
What a great time. First time paddle boarding.Eric, our tour guide did a great job, showing us how to use the paddle boards, some history of manatees, the groves, made sure everyone was doing OK. Got to see some dolphins. And took pictures that he sent the group. Would highly recommend it!
Knowledgeable tour guide. Our group was small since we took the early appointment, so that was nice. The tour was peaceful. We didn't see any dolphins or manatees, so that was disappointing.
Eric was fantastic. Knowledgeable and friendly. We've never paddle boarded before and he had us up and paddling right along. Thanks
Great time on the paddleboard tour with Eric leading the way! Up close encounter with a dolphin and all around great paddle! I would go again!
The guide was friendly, hard-working and helpful. The group was larger than hoped for and a mixture of kayakers and first-time paddle boarders. It was a lot for one guide to orchestrate. As stated in another reviewers comments, the check-in process is less than ideal. We arrived 10 minutes early, and the 30-minute check-in process for the 10:30 am group put us in the water around 11 am. Starting an “adventure” with 40-minutes of standing around is not ideal. We still got a two-hour paddle but that didn’t get us far and we didn’t see any of the title attractions- dolphins or manatees. It is a busy season, and I’m aware of that. Again, the guide worked hard and aside from the system that is in place, there is nothing to fault him for.
It was great had a lot of fun, our guide was Eric
Tour started over an hour late. Did not see any manatees or dolphins. Guide wasn’t very personable and did not talk loud enough for everyone to hear
Terrible! The guide that everyone raves about was not there. We got a new kid (19 we heard) and it was terrible. 1) We left over an hour late. 2) Instructions before leaving were minimal and not all of us heard them. 3) Because we were late, we were competing with a different group coming in while we were trying to leave. 4) We paddled out with little direction and then we would stop and he would talk to us. "Fun facts." 5) Had trouble hearing him at all times. 6) Then we'd paddle some more until he told us to stop again. Repeat until is was finally over. 7) Again we were up against a departing tour as we were coming in because our tour was so off the time. Saw no manatees, no dolphins, no anything!
The experience is not what you think it is. Unfortunately, we were there from 10:30am until 1:30. This was supposed to be 2hours. We mostly sat around on the paddle boards waiting on the guide. We never saw anything. We paddled down the one way waiting for the guide, which was probably 20 minutes or so to just tell us to turn back around and go down by the bridge. We went down pass the bridge near of where the gulf starts and sat around just listening to facts and the guide tell us about him selves. Then, 10 minutes later he tells us to go back towards the tree area where we just came from. Not sure why we were going in circles this whole team. I don’t believe this is worth the amount of money we paid. It was 3 hours of just paddling up and down the water and never saw anything. Come to find out the water is too dirty this time of year but during the summer months the water is clear. Why give a tour when there is nothing to see. Very disappointed and ends up leaving without saying anything to the guide, because we were so annoyed.
