Get ready for an adventure unlike any other! Join a real local biologist to explore one of the most unique landscapes on earth.  As the only active biologist guided ecotour in Southwest Florida, our kayak tours of Naples and Marco Island are sure to give you a whole new appreciation for the estuaries of wild SWFL! Join us to explore winding mangrove tunnels, secluded bays, oyster reefs, rookery islands, and teeming mudflats in search of unique wildlife like wading birds, giant snails, sea stars, dolphin, manatee, and more!  Experience the wildlife and magnificent landscapes up close as you learn from the scientists who spend their lives studying these areas.  To ensure that you don’t miss a second of this magical experience, our photographers take complimentary photos of you throughout the entire trip so you can focus on enjoying this amazing natural area!

Local Wildlife

Our biologist guides are specially trained to help you spot as much wildlife as possible throughout the journey. With every encounter they will share with you the incredible stories of adaptation and survival that go beyond common knowledge to unveil the amazing intricacies of the unique local wildlife.  As biologists, we’ve spent years learning about how these plants and animals have adapted to survive in the estuary, so be sure to take advantage of your time with these ‘science nerds’ and ask as many questions as you’d like!  Biologists are just kids who never grew up, so bring your curiosity and share in their passion for this amazing place and its wildlife on a kayak tour in Naples & Marco Island.
