      Great kayak trip
      Great morning kayak trip with Justin. We got to see tons of birds, alligators, manatees, a Lemon shark and even a crocodile. Justin is fun and very knowledgeable.

      Great Excursion!
      This was a super adventure through the Mangroves of SW Florida. The small group size made it easy to hear Caroline, our fabulous guide, share her knowledge of the wildlife, area history, and plants! We loved navigating through the Mangrove tunnels! The photos that Caroline took were uploaded to the link very quickly, too!

      Paddling with Sharks, Dolphins, Manatees, and More!
      This tour was one of the best wildlife tours our family has taken anywhere! Caroline was a fantastic guide who knew a ton of information about the area's history and its natural resources. She made sure we navigated the mangrove tunnels successfully and knew all the best spots for great wildlife viewing. We would 100% do this tour again!

      Memorable family outing
      Exceptional guide - attentive, patient, informative and fun. Managed a group of six kayaks really well. Everything was safe and efficient too. And great photos and videos afterwards.

      Great experience not far from Naples/Bonita Springs!
      Everything about the tour from their pre-trip communication to expertise of the guides was excellent. The experience of kayaking through the mangroves was one to remember - beautiful setting and saw lots of wildlife. Weather was perfect in December. Our guide Justin was fantastic, great guy and very knowledgeable about the swamp. Book this trip if you have the time!!

      Exceeded expectations!
      This trip exceeded my expectations. Adventure Paddle Tours was professional and ensured we were prepared for our trip through effective communication leading up to our tour. When we arrived, we were greeted by Justen who led our tour. We hit the jackpot with him! He put me at ease as a novice kayaker by giving a great instructional overview in the beginning and guiding us throughout the tour on what to expect ahead. He was very knowledgeable and we saw ALL the animals - dozens of different birds, alligators, manatees, shark, and even a crocodile! It was a highlight of our trip. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone seeking some adventure and looking to explore a different side of Florida. To end, they send you dozens of photos from your trip to download for free. Great memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

      Very cool kayak tour with very cool, knowledgeable guides
      Amazing tour with amazing guide (Justin). Lots of information about the land, the landscape, the wildlife, and the history of the area's inhabitants. Very close to Marco Island, which was a big bonus.

      Great mangrove experience!
      Our total experience was great. Our tour guide was fantastic, sharing his vast knowledge of the mangroves, wildlife and local history. He was adept at negotiating the mangroves and keeping our group together with our safety as a priority. Highly recommended!

      Five-star fun on the water.
      A fun, educational and entertaining experience. Kayaks are easy to handle, the scenery is great and the paddling is not strenuous - there is a bit of a current that moves you along - and you have to steer through some narrow mangrove tunnels, which is fun. We saw herons, manatees and a couple of gators - from a safe distance. Our guide Justin knows a lot about local plants and animals and communicated info in a fun way - while keeping track of the group and keeping everyone safe. Really enjoyable way to learn more about this treasure of an ecosystem.

      Family Fun
      We had a great time on this trip. Went with an 8 and 10 year old and the pace was totally doable for both. It was great to be out surrounded by nature. Our guide Justin was very knowledgable and helpful. We saw lots of native birds, alligators (at a safe distance) and some Manatee noses. It was a great way to spend a morning.

      Look no further, this is the one!
      Fabulous morning on the water kayaking with Addventure Paddle Tours Florida. The sights were never ending. Beautiful water views. Fun and challenging mangrove tunnels. We saw Bald Eagles, a Roseate Spoonbill, a wide variety of heron, ibis, osprey, king fisher, and pelicans. Best part was the crocodile, dolphin, manatee, alligators, and bull shark.

      Friendly staff
      Beautiful, doable, a little too long but all good. We came from Naples on vacation. We saw gators, birds, baby sharks, and more.
