Our Five-Star guided eco-tours and rentals take you through Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico’s most incredible paddling routes... including mangrove tunnels, secluded beaches, and prime shelling areas! This is prime habitat for dolphins (year round) and manatees (mostly warm water months).

We use top quality standard kayaks and paddleboards that are comfortable and easy to paddle. We have CLEAR paddleboards too, and HOBIE pedal kayaks if needed.

What to expect

Join us for a guided eco tour at Big Hickory Island in Bonita Springs. Choose a standard or CLEAR kayak or paddleboard. We'll paddle at a relaxed pace in search of dolphins, birds, and manatees while sharing local eco-system info.

We are open 7 days a week and promise to provide you with exceptional service so come on out and let us show you how easy it is to get out and have some fun on the water! Our paddling routes are some of the best in Southwest Florida and allow you to experience the mangroves trails and tunnels, the Gulf of Mexico, and the beautiful
Island beach! You will have the chance to be up close with marine life and it’s quite common to see dolphins, and sometimes manatees (summer).

We suggest you bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bottled water, and water shoes.

CLEAR kayaks have a limit of 400 pounds per boat and a max of 225 pounds per seat. Our Standard kayaks have higher limits and track better. Clear kayaks are for 2 people so please book even numbers. We have HOBIE pedal kayaks if needed. Contact us if questions!
