    We had a wonderful guide, Hannah, who did a fantastic job - especially enjoyed the talk she did on all the different shells that were found. It was so so interesting learning the different shells and how they reacted to their environment.

    Excellent tour!
    Huddy_G, Mar 2024
    Hannah was a wonderful guide! My 72 year old mother and I enjoyed every minute of this tour. Hannah was flexible with our time, giving us a bit more time on the beach collecting shells and tailoring the rest of the tour accordingly. (For which we were so grateful!) She was also amazingly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. Best of all, she was fun to spend time with. We highly recommend this tour!
    Fun with Paddle Naples

    Our family had a GREAT TIME! We saw dolphins, walked on the beach, and explored around the mangroves. Our tour guide Mike taught us all about the area and even provided me extra help needed getting out of the kayak! Thank you Mike and Paddle Naples. 😃

    This guided tour was awesome! Our guide Hannah was amazing. She’s fun and knowledgeable. The showing is really good! Well worth the price. Got to experience the wildlife of the waterways. And learn about the native Americans of that area.

    Hannah was an awesome guide and the whole crew were so helpful. Would recommend this tour to even new kayakers. The pictures they took and sent to us free of charge was so thoughtful and unexpected. Would do this tour again for sure.

    What a great thing to do on the SW coast of Florida! Our guide Hannah was so knowledgeable, fun and patient! I highly recommend this experience! Ask for Hannah, she is fabulous!
    Great kayak experience
    George_K, Mar 2024
    Cameron was an excellent tour guide. Very informative about the area. I would not recommend the clear kayaks. Harder to maneuver.
    Amazing experience
    Mieko_S, Mar 2024
    Hannah and Seth were amazing hard working tour guides. First time kayaking and they made us feel very comfortable and confident. It is naturally very hard for everyone to hear what guides are saying on water especially if you are not right alongside them. A small megaphone? Or bullphone? Might help people in the back to hear them. Overall, highly suggested!
    Great kayak tour
    Laurie_J, Mar 2024
    Hannah was amazing and had a lot of knowledge that she shared about the birds, mangroves, fish, dolphins etc. We went along the beach and picked seashells. She did an awesome job describing the different sea shells. Very interesting! Great tour with a quick glimpse of a dolphin.
    Great trip!
    Jeff_L, Mar 2024

    Paddle Naples did not disappoint!

    The tour was perfect! The weather was great, the length gave you your money’s worth and the extra knowledge about seashells from Seth was really cool too! Hannah and Seth were the perfect tour guides!

    Mike was a fantastic to Chicago O'H guide. He was constantly pointing out birds and dolphins on our trip. He also gave us a lecture on the different types of shells that were on the beach that we stopped at. We would definitely do this trip again.
