Over 500 5-star reviews on other platforms! Why? Our guides at Adventures Kayaking love what they do! We do our very best to make sure you have a great time out on the water while learning about our beautiful Estero Bay estuary, the largest in SW Florida. Wildlife is abundant with healthy shorebird populations, and prime dolphin (year round) and manatee (warm water months) habitat. We launch from Big Hickory Island to paddle hidden mangrove tunnels and explore the west island beach... a beach that is only accessed by watercraft! Let us show you why our customers love this tour!

We had a fantastic time with our tour guide Hannah! We saw lots of birds and even some manatees. Hannah was incredibly knowledgeable, and gave us a new appreciation for the complexity of shells and plant life in Florida. Group sizes are kept small, which let us get to know our guide and ensured she had eyes on all of us the whole trip. She took plenty of pictures, including over 25 of us. We almost went for the rental alone, but the tour is worth the extra cost!

Such a great experience! Mike, a.k.a., the "Dolphin whisperer", lead us through mangroves and along beaches that were absolutely beautiful. We got to watch dolphins play. Mike was very knowledgeable about the native plants, birds, and plants that we saw along the way. We stopped on an iOS, and he found and shared information about the different types of shells that were common in the area and the critters that lived in them! I was too early in the season to see the manatees... would love to come back to see them! THANKS, Mike!!

We are a family of five (kids aged 7, 11 and 13) and had booked a guided tour. Even though kayaking was new to most of us, everybody quickly found the rhythm under great guidance from tour guide and enjoyed every minute of it. Unfortunately we didn’t se dolphins or manatees, but enjoying the other wildlife, shelling on the little beach and paddling along was all worth it.

We did a 3 hour tour of Estero bay with Cameron - an extremely knowledgable guide! Learned loads about sea life, the birds and the local area. I highly recommend this tour - fun and very informative.

Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable, and informative. Not only did we enjoy kayaking in the mangroves, we learned about the local plants and marine animals. We would definitely take a paddle tour with Glenn again!

Adventures Kayaking gave me and my wife a great experience. The weather was windy and kayaking in the estuary wasn't a very safe option, but Adventures Kayaking set us up to go down the more sheltered Imperial River instead. We had an excellent time and couldn't be happier. We'd love to have more adventures with them in the future!

Glenn was very informative about the wildlife and ecosystem. We were out about 2.5 months after Ian and saw the impact on the area.
