I encourage everyone to experience the Isle of Capri and its waters from a pedal Kayak. Get up close to the fowl and bay creatures, walk in the mud flats (if desired), and enter the mangrove tunnels. Serene, smooth, and fascinating.
Beautiful and peaceful tour. We had seniors all the way to young children in our group and everything in between. Pedaling is not strenuous and is actually pretty relaxing. Tight windows in some areas were very cool. Wildlife was hit and miss, but the tour and ride alone are worth it. The main downside are the mosquitoes. Spray and I’d suggest long sleeve fishing shirts but most people didn’t wear those and it’s not a must. One of my families favorite activities on our trip and we’d all go again for sure. Highly recommend
The kayak tour was fantastic and just what we needed for a cloudy, rainy day in Marco Island. Foot peddling the kayak thru the mangroves and see a group of swallow-tailed kit birds flying made for a truly enjoyable trip. Thanks so much to the entire team!
Our kayak tour was fantastic! We arrived early and received a brief but thorough demonstration on how to operate the paddle kayaks. The route was easy and the mangroves were beautiful! Very relaxing :) Wear sunscreen and DO NOT forget bug spray, you will need it!
We were a family of six and we ranged in age of 72 to 12. No matter the age this was an incredible tour and Rammel was the best. He gave great instructions on how to manage the kayaks and were easy to manage. We had a blast and encourage everyone to do this if you are at Marco island.
We had wonderful time paddle kayaking through the Mansgrove with our guide Rammel. He is very knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting information on the Mansgrove. He even went fishing for some starfishes which was a very cool experience. We were able to hold them and he explained how important they are in the area we were. We also saw a dolphin swimming that was amazing. Highly recommend this excursion and if possible try to get Rammel he was great.
Pedal kayaks are the way to go. Far and away better than using a traditional paddle. Our guide was enthusiastic, patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our group was small and it was a great experience. Highly recommend.
Had a wonderful time on our tour. Rammel was the perfect tour guide. He always made sure everyone was having a good time and the scenery was beautiful.
SO much fun! Pedal kayak was very easy to use (especially for unexperienced user) you don't get tired from pedaling, and very safe experience. Rammel was our guide and gave us an interesting and educational tour. He pointed out a lot of wildlife and kept us entertained throughout. Highly recommend booking this tour!
I have been many times with Ramel. He always teaches us something new about the ecosystem. This is a very relaxing educational experience. We will continue come back because we think he is wonderful and so is his tour.
Amazing experience. Rammel is an absolute professional who works with each client and makes them feel comfortable! This is our fourth year back and we will keep coming!
Exceeded my expectations. Rommel was a terrific guide. The scenery was stunning and learned so much about the eco system. The pedal kayaks made the trip relaxing but still interactive.
Our guide went above and beyond. Wonderful. Would highly recommend Great for kids too. Scenery was spectacular
Great experience with Rammel leading the way. If you haven't done the pedal kayaks, this is a great way to try it. Rommel was informative and motivating, as well.
My sisters and I had a very wonderful time on the delux tour excursion kayaking around Marco Island/Naples mangrove “tunnels”. Rammel is an energetic, knowledgable, funny guide who took pictures of the group & shared them, no charge, with all. He made the adventure so much fun! I highly recommend him & his tour to all!
Great trip! Rammel was highly attentive and accommodating. Love the smaller sized groups. Definitely recommend.
Guide was excellent and kayaks with foot pedals are the way to go. Easy ride, lots of great wildlife shared with us and discovered on this trip. Would highly recommend a guided tour with our very dedicated and keen eyed Cuban - R. He was articulate, passionate and clearly loves his job. Once you use the foot pedaled Kayaks you will never go back! The pictures taken and shared during the outing are also a treat to have as a memory.
Fun day paddling around and learning about shells and the animals who live in them. The pedaling was easy and it allowed us the ability to take in the gorgeous scenery.
This was the perfect kayak tour! The pedal kayak was so easy to use and comfortable. I usually get really sore arms from paddling a normal kayak so it was a pleasant surprise to have such a low effort ride with the pedal kayak. The tour itself was great - a perfect balance of serene surroundings and exploring nature hands on with our guide. The highlight of the tour was hopping out of the kayak at shallow sandy areas to check out the local wildlife. In summary, book this tour, you won’t regret it!
Very comfortable kayak that was easy to maneuver. Guide was knowledgeable about estuary and sea life.
Highly suggest going this time of year. The weather, water and sunshine couldn't have been more perfect. Our tour guide? Please ask for him!!! Romann (spelling may be incorrect). He's originally from Cuba. His passion for his job, nature, explaining the history of the area, the plants, the wildlife and water life was overwhelming interesting and extremely important to him and wanted us to take back valuable lessons he explained to us. Peace! When we initially got out into the water he said; this is not a race. Enjoy your surroundings. Take on the air that we breathe and the beautiful sky and nature surrounding us. And so we did! Romann provided us with a fresh Pineapple that he cut in front of us and shared while taking a break. He then dove down into the water and found a star fish and Oyster and explained the wonderful creatures of the sea to us. Very friendly, caring, his English was very clear and he cared for each and every one of us. You will not get the absolute full experience if you don't book through Romann. He's the best!
Rammel and his coworker were awesome. Their passion for kayaking and the environment was very strong. They were both very knowledgeable and helpful. My boyfriend and I had a great time. Can't wait to do it again.
We booked the Deluxe Kayak Tour and it completely exceeded our expectations. The pedal kayaks were so easy and comfortable — we got to relax, take photos, and enjoy the wildlife without worrying about paddling the whole time. We glided through peaceful mangrove tunnels, spotted dolphins playing nearby, and even saw beautiful birds up close. Our guide made the experience unforgettable. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about the environment — we learned so much while having a blast! The small-group feel made everything more personal and special. And the thoughtful little surprises along the way… wow. It felt like a VIP adventure from start to finish. If you’re visiting Marco Island, don’t miss this tour. You’ll leave with amazing photos, new knowledge, and a giant smile. Highly, highly recommend!
Great experience, perfect for all ages and abilities. Would highly recommend. A great value and exceptional customer service.
Rammel was awesome! Friendly, funny, skilled, on time, what more could you ask for? We pedaled across the water, through the mangroves, saw birds, shells, learning about the island and how we should take care of the earth. I highly recommend!!
Rommel was an excellent guide. Great experience and he provided us with some amazing photos. Beautiful scenery throughout the tour. It was easy to navigate the pedal kayaks. Great memories made today.
I took my 6 and 11 year old boys and my 71 year old mom. We had a wonderful adventure. It is perfect for all.
It was a very informative trip. The kayaking was very relaxing and going through the main groves. The whole experience was very enjoyable.
Ramel was an amazing guide. We spent 2-hours in the water. We saw a star fish, sea urchins, sting rays, dolphins, and a manatee. Highly recommend this tour and the peddling was easy to maneuver the kayak.
We had the best family experience!! Lots of fun, facts and laughing. Definitely one of the most enjoyable, safe and relaxing activities we have booked. Thank you to our amazing tour guide!! 😊☀️💦🌎🌙
Wonderful eco tour with a fabulously warm and conscientious guide. Highly recommend. Great fro families with children too. Do not hesitate to book.
Fun and interactive. Rommel was an amazing guide. Easy-going and suitable for beginners. Great way to learn and explore the 10k Islands in a relax and stress free mode.
This was amazing! The guide, Ramill was awesome! The kayaks were great and easy to use. The views were so pretty and just overall a good time.
This is an amazing tour and Rammel is a fantastic guide and human! The pedal kayaks make this tour accessible to people of all ages. We pedaled around the mangroves and through the tunnels as Rammel explained about the flora and fauna and his love of the environment and passion for protecting the ecosystem. We stopped to watch a family of manatee eat the sea grass and later saw a mama dolphin and her baby enjoying the water. At a lagoon we got into the water to cool off and held starfish that Rammel brought up for us to see. At the end we were gifted with bracelets and necklaces and gorgeous photos Rammel had taken along the way. This is a beautiful experience everyone should enjoy! Thank you, Rammel, for this wonderful tour!
An amazing adventure for the whole family! The kids had a blast spotting dolphins and learning about the mangroves. The pedal kayaks were super easy to use—even our youngest joined in without any trouble. Rammel was so kind and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back!
We didn’t know what to expect, but WOW—Marco EcoTours blew us away! From the moment we got on the water, everything felt easy and peaceful. The pedal kayaks are genius—my arms were thanking me! We laughed, took in the silence of the mangroves, and even had a dolphin swimming alongside us. Rammel was like a nature encyclopedia with a great sense of humor. This isn’t one of those crowded touristy things it felt personal, thoughtful, and real. 100% recommend if you want to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
From the moment we stepped into the Hobie pedal kayaks, we were in heaven!! No paddling, no stress—just pure relaxation, laughter, and stunning nature. Rammel is a passionate guide who made the tour fun, educational, and full of heart. We saw dolphins, birds, and even explored hidden mangrove tunnels. Absolutely the best kayak tour in Marco Island. 10/10!
Super fun and calming tour. The kayaks are powered by pedals making it easy to control and relax. Great views as well. Loved it!
I have been wanting to do a kayaking tour for a while but was intimidated by the upper body strength needed to be out on open water for an extended period of time. This pedal kayak option is amazing! You are still getting a bit of a workout but it does not leave you exhausted half way thru or unable to move the next day. And our guide was the best. He was so passionate about the ecosystem and wanted to share his expertise all the while ensuring the whole tour was comfortable and safe. Book this tour! You will not regret it!
Rammel was passionate about the sea and educating everyone about its treasures and wonders. He was knowledgeable and made the experience amazing for everyone. He was kind and thoughtful yet humorous. We were not rushed and really got to take in the full experience.
Definitely worth doing! Had a great time on the Hobie pedal kayak exploring the mangroves with our guide. He went above and beyond to show our small group different wildlife (dolphins, osprey, herons; even dove in the water and carefully showed us starfish/sea stars, sponges, and more) while teaching us about the animals and taking amazing photos from his professional that he shared with us for free at the end of the tour. ~Excellent clean and comfortable pedal kayak equipment ~Fun and knowledgable guide. Made sure everyone was doing well throughout the trip. ~Great length of time for the money / great value Thank you for a fun tour!
This is just amazing, and i think everyone have to do this if you come to Marco Island, THIS IS THE BEST BY FAR!! Kayaks with pedals make this tours very relaxing, you never get tired Rammel our guide is so fun and he always makes sure that you are having a good time Thank you Rammel so much for this beautiful day.
Our tour with Ramon was lovely! Pedalling in the Hobie kayaks is easy and relaxing and the surroundings are truly beautiful. Our teens loved the humour and jokes on the way. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins. But since the tour was so lovely, we weren't too disappointed.
Rammel was an excellent guide. Pedal kayaking is so much better and way more relaxing than paddling. The weather was perfect. Rammel gave us some great info on local wildlife and some "extras" at the end of tour. Would highly recommend.
This is a great kayak tour for everyone of all ages! The day was perfect and our guide Rammel did a fantastic job, very knowledgeable about the area. The kayaks with the pedals made the it that much better because it was so easy to glide through the water. Loved it!!
Does not matter age or skill do not be afraid to book this !!!! He walks you through EVERYTHING!!! Had an unforgettable time . Learned more that I could ever remember. Very stable kayak s. Don’t be afraid JUST DO IT!!!!!
This was the perfect adventure experience for me and my kids… I took my 10, 8 and 6yo and it was an unforgettable experience!! We will be back!
The feet paddles are incredible! It is so easy to fight the current with them. The water was amazing for a swim! Rammel is the best guide ever, he teaches us about conchs and baby water animals. Thank you for another amazing tour! Addy (10), Wiley (8), Aly and Paul
Went with my buddies back in January and had a great time. One of the dolphins got real close and we got some cool shots with them. The weather was just right and the water wasn’t too rough. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Marco Island. Not only was the experience unique, but the staff was warm and welcoming. You can tell they’re educated in what they’re taking about. Will be coming again this Summer!
