Had a wonderful experience on this kayak tour! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly . Saw some wildlife and collected beautiful shells in the crystal clear water ! I would highly recommend the tour guide with Luke ! Great time had by all !
Easy self guided 2 hour kayak trip at low tide. Open kayaks well maintained. They tell you where to looks for shells. We found such great ones we didn’t ho anywhere else to hunt. Saw at least one dolphin playing and pelicans.
Have your swim wear if you go when it's sunny out! Beaches are so beautiful you just want to take a swim!
Great time with friends! Wind was strong that day so made it more of a workout. Beach was beautiful!
Very fun! Nick was great. He was very interesting and helpful. He gave us really good instructions on the most effective way to kayak. He gave us interesting information about the island and all the different shells.
We would highly recommend Adventure Kayaking, friendly staff and awesome location! We had a great day! Very quick paddle to the island and enjoyed shelling and a little time in the water even though it was a bit cold.
A really wonderful morning kayaking and relaxing on the beautiful private beach!! Will absolutely be back! Thank you!
We rented kayaks for two hours and had a great time. The business is basically on the side of the road near the Little Hickory Beach in Estero Bay. This is the launching area for the kayaks. This area was hit hard by Hurricane Ian two years ago, but has been cleaned up significantly and is slowly being restored. The area is beautiful to kayak around. We first headed toward the Gulf to Hickory Island, a tiny beach island. The current was pretty strong against us, but the island is beautiful and good for shelling. We saw lots of pelicans. We didn't spend much time on the island because we wanted to kayak. We headed back into the bay, enjoying the current taking us along. We kayaked in the channel, surrounded by mangroves. We did see dolphin. The staff was great. They gave us a map of the area to guide us. They did have a waterproof bag for us to use. Expect to get a bit wet. You need to step into the water to get into the kayak. Plus there can be some splash that will get your seat a bit wet. Best to keep your phone in a waterproof pouch (not provided, but you can put your phone in the waterproof bag. It just won't be as accessible). Bring your own water and sunscreen, hat and sunglasses too. Wear flip-flops or some similar water shoe.
Terrific day paddling and stopping at beach. Kayak was ready to go and the guys were great giving instructions and guidance.
Nick was a great guide through the mangrove waters and the trip to the island for shelling. He is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed ‘tracking’ an iguana on the beach with him. He shared lots of good info about local birds, island history, etc. we recommend Adventures Kayaking!
Everything was wonderful! Everyone was very nice. We saw a manatee and the beach was nice to pull up to for a bit. We will be back!!
Our experience booking our paddle adventure was great from the booking to finishing our paddling day ! We were welcome by sunch a friendly staff Nick and Hanna were very helpful they got us all ready with our paddle boards gave us pointers on the trip our paddles were sturdy and love the complimentary dry bag ! We saw dolphins and lots wild life is a beautiful paddle thru the marshes ,mangroves ,beach area . We will definitely come out again !
We had an amazing time renting kayaks with my family! While we wished we could have seen more wildlife, we understand that’s beyond anyone’s control. The staff was incredibly attentive, providing us with everything we needed and giving us excellent instructions to make the best out of our trip. My kids had a blast, and we would definitely come back again!
You start off kayaking in mangroves, tons of birds, about 15 mins into the trip you’ll reach the Gulf of Mexico. I had my 6 year old daughter with me and it was a great experience for her! We got to get shells from secluded islands, which also have sandbars for easy walking. The actual route goes by the city and under a highway, but we just went to the beaches and came back. Perfect trip and learning experience for young kids, but probably not best for babies.
Great advice from local guides. I was able to see and do everything I wanted to do within the time I booked for thanks again Kurt!
Had a great time kayaking among mangroves! Saw a beautiful island and enjoyed an amazing day in sunny Florida! Loved our guide Tyler and his awesome dog Easton. Tyler was a wealth of information and kept us very engaged!
Gorgeous morning with kayaks out to Gulf. Trail out to Gulf was great moving through the mangroves. Arrived at perfect secluded beach to take an extended swim. Staff were helpful, friendly, and kayak was in good shape. We highly recommend this over others in area if you want to get to beach within 15 minutes. We'll definitely go back many times in future. We're locals and the experience was perfect
I had a wonderful afternoon kayaking in the mangroves. My guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the local flora and fauna. Sad to see so much destruction from Ian but nature will recover. I have some nice pictures and shells to help me remember the adventure.
Mark Quinn was our guide and was so knowledgeable about everything we saw on our trip. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed everything we saw. Mark is excellent.
