The whole team was friendly, knowledgable and willing to help right when we pulled into the lot! Corrine especially got us signed up and in the water in minutes! The starting point is perfect to “get your feet wet” before hitting some beautiful sandy beaches for a little siesta! One of us loaded the dry bag, the other the cooler bag and we made a day of it! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or day! Thank you all! We will be back!!

This was an incredible experience. Reserving the kayaks online was easy. When we arrived Cameron explained the rules of the water and wildlife, and we were off. We paddled through the mangroves out to Hickory Island. We had the island pretty much to ourselves. The views were stunning. We even found some lovely sea shells. Highly recommend this adventure.

My wife and I have rented kayaks from Paddle Naples at least 10 times and every trip is different. The staff is very helpful and friendly! We particularly enjoyed Carin. She is very helpful and friendly. We recommend Paddle Naples to whoever come to SWFL to visit!

This tour was SO much fun. We went as a family with an 11 yo and 4 yo and took two tandem kayaks. The tour guides were so kind and helpful, and they really took the time to make sure we knew what to do and were safe. The scenery is beautiful, and the private beach with the shells was a big hit for the kids! We have been recommending this trip to everyone we know here, and we definitely plan to do this again the next time we visit Florida!

As much as i want to rate this 5 stars, due to the difficulty we found in navigating the route by ourselves i took off two stars. Due to a problem with one of our paddle boards we got stopped at the beach for some time while a new one was brought to us… we ended up right in front of a guided tour luckily because if not we would have been lost in the mangroves/canal and had a harder time getting back. While it was beautiful (we even watched 2 dolphins for about 30 mins on and off) there were two different spots on the route here we would have never expected to have to go through had the guide behind us not rerouted us. The areas weren’t marked (I’m assuming related to possibly polluting the water if a sign blew away) and the hole to “paddle” through was barely big enough for someone standing on their knees. Although they tell you that you may have to do that, it definitely didn’t look like that was the right way to go 😅😅 i would totally do it again but would suggest a guided version if it’s your first time!
