I had such an amazing time with Paddle Naples doing their sunset tour. Nick was our tour guide, and he was so fun to be around. He was quick to identify all forms of wildlife surrounding us on our tour. We had gone to Audubon earlier that day after an airboat tour, and we saw SO much more wildlife on this trip in Bonita Springs. We saw tons of wading birds, jellyfish, fish, and even a dolphin. Nick did a phenomenal job explaining the area and the environment. We loved the explanations of the different shells while we went shelling and of the animal behaviors whenever we spotted something. The views of the sunset were seriously unreal. We’ve been watching the sunsets from our room at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point, but it didn’t compare to being on the sandbar right as it was happening. It was a very special experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Plus, we’ve got many photos and vids that Nick Airdropped to us us, so I could really be in the moment and not be on my phone so much. I had this tour rescheduled two times because of inclement weather with the thunderstorms, and I’m so glad that the third night worked out! We got lucky. Kurt was super helpful in getting the booking rescheduled and communicating with me about the changes. I’m really glad we made time to go on this tour instead of doing a sunset cruise on a boat. I highly recommend doing one of the tours with Paddle Naples 🌅

We did the kayak tour with Nick today and it was so much fun! We have a large group of 11. We did the 2 1/2 hour tour and the beach we ended up at was so pretty! It was the perfect way to cool off after kayaking through the mangroves. Nick was very knowledgeable and made it fun! We will definitely be back for our next vacation.

WOW!!! An absolutely AMAZING first-ever paddle for Catherine and me!! Nick was a sensational guide for the 2.5 hour immersion in the wildlife, history, geography— fun facts for the entire ride and escape into nature. The private beaches visited were a shelling paradise, including Nick taking us into nature’s laboratory to show how native Americans turned shells into nighttime navigations aides for the Chanel’s— whaaaat?? Sooo much fun. If you’re visiting, its a MUST DO!!!

Paddle Naples is the best place to go kayaking or paddle boarding in SW Florida. I’ve lived in Cape Coral for 28 years and have been out paddle boarding in many places but the water clarity, white sandy beaches, dolphins, and Pelican were amazing in this location at Big Hickory island just south of Fort Myers Beach. I will definitely be going back here. Also, the equipment was solid and the crew was very nice and informative.

Amazing experience kayaking the mangroves and shoreline! We got lucky enough to see dolphins hunting right off the beach. A huge shoutout to our guide, Victoria, for being super professional and great at spotting wildlife we might have missed. We came back for the sunset & glow tour and what a surprise: it was just the two of us and our guide, Nick. Nick was incredible—he safely guided us through the dark mangroves, and his knowledge of the local wildlife is truly priceless. Having him share so many insights made the experience even more special. Highly recommend Paddle Naples for anyone visiting the area! Thanks for two amazing trips!
