Kayaking Naples Florida
Award-winning experiences since 2009
Kayaking Naples Florida
Founded in 2009, Adventure Paddle Tours provides award-winning, family-friendly, Florida Master Naturalist kayak tours based in Naples, Florida. Our 100% Satisfaction guaranteed Naples area kayak tours are true eco-tours, launching from the best kayak routes within 20 minutes of Naples and Marco Island. Our Florida kayak tours are small groups by design, only allowing up to 8 guests per kayak tour. These small group numbers tend to sell out, but provide our guests with the most enjoyable kayak experience possible while allowing for a more hands-on interaction between our guests and guides.

THE MOST UNIQUE KAYAK TOUR ROUTES IN NAPLES, FL
Our Manatees and Mangroves kayak tour is still the number one rated kayaking route in Naples! This tour provides guests with the best opportunity for spotting bucket list wildlife. Hands down this kayak tour can not be beat.
We are proud to be one of two kayak tour operators permitted to offer kayak tours in the Fakahatchee State Preserve on the East River, a truly one-of-a-kind experience, kayaking through the most extensive mangrove tunnel system in the Naples area. Currently, we offer tours in Rookery Bay, the 10,000 Islands, and the Fakahatchee State Preserve. Each Tour has specific highlights like manatees and alligators or birds and blue crabs. Please take the time to read through each tour so you can make the best decision for you and your family visiting Marco Island, Naples, and Miami.

If you book a tour and are pushing our age limits, weight restrictions, or ability levels that is on you. If you book a tour and decide last minute it’s not for you, we are unable to give you a refund since guests within our age limits and ability requirements could have participated.

Dolphin & Manatee Boat Tour We brought our family to Marco Island, and booked the Dolphin & Manatee Boat Tour.
Logan, our guide, was amazing - he knew the area very well and was very informative. We learned a lot about the area and saw an alligator and manatees along the way.melissapH8967FU8/09/2022
