Great company and we love coming to this location to kayak through mangroves and around Big Hickory Island and beach. We have seen many birds, manatees, and dolphins. We get the 4 hour window and pack a lunch so we can walk the beach and collect shells too!
We are open 7 days a week and promise to provide you with exceptional service! Paddle Naples is a family owned business that has operated on Big Hickory Island since 2014... we have over 500 5-star Google reviews... so see what everyone says about our service! Then come on out and let us show you how easy it is to get out and have some fun on the water! Looking for something truly unique? Try our CLEAR Kayak Sunset Glow Tour. We will paddle to a secluded beach for shelling until sunset, then we turn on the colorful underwater LED lights and have a great time paddling back!

People did an excellent job, very friendly and courteous. would recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowds. We did this at 9 AM and it felt like we had the place to ourselves.

We had a great scenic tour! Saw a dolphin. We did a self guided tour and the map was easy to follow! Staff was friendly. thanks

The operators of this company were very unfriendly, and one was even downright hostile! After going over the rules and such with the girl (who was not so friendly at first but warmed up a little bit while going over the rules and such), she pointed out our two kayaks sitting by the water. We made our way over and I got in mine and my husband gave me a push off into the water (we have kayaks at home and are experienced). I started paddling away to give him some room to push himself off. Next thing I know a man is shouting at my husband very sternly and loudly "GET OUT, GET OUT!!!". I paddle back over to see what's going on and asked "What's wrong, what's going on?!". He says he wanted to push him off (fine, but why the hostility??) and then he tells me to paddle back over to him and proceeds to pull my life preserver out of my kayak! Why? Who the heck knows?! My husband ended up giving me his because he didn't like the fact that I had none. Not sure what was wrong with this guy...?? He was so disrepectul and rude to husband and shouted at him like he was a toddler (my husband is 62 years old and very fit & capable). It was so embarrassing. We almost got out and told them to cancel our reservation, but we wanted to enjoy our last day vacation day doing what we love best, being in a kayak on the water. We just made a point to write a review later. The area is very lovely, and mangroves were fun to navigate, but I cannot recommend this company. We are shocked at all the positive reviews, frankly. Maybe they were having an off day, who knows.

It was a last minute idea for my family of four. We were vacationing in Fort Myers and this was only a short drive. Easy meet and greet and we were off on our single kayaks. Beautiful trip through the mangroves and then out to a sandbar and beach area. Loved shell collecting there because the water was warm (January). We saw many birds of prey and saw an iguana in the tree. Two hours seemed too short. Would take this same trip again next time and go the longer way around. It was very peaceful and nice enjoying the water without a guide. .
