    We had so much fun kayaking through the mangroves of Marco island! Super super cool and fun to see a part of Marco that we've never done before. The crew that sent us to sea were super nice and explained where to go so it made super easy to navigate. Next Time we're down here we will book another 2 hour trip! Glen was great!

    Louis and Sertac were fantastic as our tour guide and photographer. Super nice and very informative. We regret not having brought cash to tip them as they certainly deserve it! It was our first time kayaking, and we felt comfortable...and managed to not drown or capsize! This is THE company with whom to do the mangrove tours! We loved it so much, we decided to buy kayaks!

    Paddle Marco lunches single and double canoes from the Isle of Capri Paddlecraft Park. This adventure will consist of physical activity and educational instruction about the local ecosystem. The canoes will be set up for you and the guides will graciously help you board and set you out to the open water. You'll paddle several hundred yards before taking a quick break and heading deeper into the mangroves. You'll see a nest of an Osprey pair, multiple ibises, and lots of shells. You'll even be able to handle some towards the end of the tour. You'll also see how the mangroves encroach on the water and how the water currents slow the encroachment process. You'll see a sunken Sea-Doo that the ecosystem has taken over and turned into its own living organism. The highlight was going through the narrow waterways. Several times you actually have to put your paddle down and pull yourself through by the low hanging branches. Our guide Richard was very knowledgeable and informative. The best part about this tour is all of the photographs that are taken of you and the sites you see are included in the price. There's no up selling you at the end. This adventure had just the right amount of physical activity combined with educational enlightenment.

    My husband, 11-year old daughter, and I took the kayak tour through the mangroves. Our guide, Lou, was personable and knowledgeable. We made stops as he pointed out findings in the water including starfish, jellyfish and Lightening-whelk. Our family had an enjoyable excursion!

    Paddle Marco, you made our Thanksgiving week SO much fun! (And helped us burn all of the calories we gained from eating our weight in turkey!) I visited Marco Island to spend Thanksgiving with family, and my relatives reserved a single kayak, double kayak, and SUP board for the week for us youngsters to play with! What a treat!! The Paddle Marco team is amazing! They are such fun-loving, personable, and lively guys. They arrived perfectly on time to drop off the kayaks and SUP board, carried them to the back dock, provided life jackets, paddles, and waterproof bags for our cell phones and personal belongings. They explained how to use the equipment and how to store them safely on the dock when not in use. They were so attentive, knowledgable, and FUN and they made the entire process so effortless and easy. We had a BLAST using the kayaks and SUP board every day! Everything was in great shape, no damages or scratches, and everything was very sturdy, safe, and easy to use! It truly made our week so much fun and kept us busy! This is a great local company on Marco Island, and they provide wonderful customer service. I would highly recommend! Such a fun and rewarding rental experience! THANK YOU, PADDLE MARCO!

    We rented one double kayak ($60) and one paddle board ($50) for the day (7 hrs) out of Caxambas Park. We called the day before to book and they were very helpful and reasonable. When we arrived the next day for our rental, RJ was there to greet us, unload everything, give us directions and pointers and bring everything to the boat slip for us. We left at low tide around 9:15am, stopped at the sand bar, then went Dickman's Island where we beached our rentals and spent many hours in the Gulf. We arrived back around 2:30pm where RJ was waiting to help us unload everything back on land. Perfect day! Will definitely do it again :)

    Easiest transaction and experience thanks to Glen. I called 3-hours prior to my desired launch time and Glen was very warm and welcoming with my request of a SUP and kayak. I then called him an hour prior to launch time to change the kayak to a double, so I can take my dog with me. He said no problem and made the necessary changes. My gf, dog, and I showed up and our rentals were set up and ready for us. Easy transaction and we were on our way. All we had to do was leave the rentals once we were done and Glen would do the rest. We had a blast and I highly recommend.

    First off, 5 stars for the staff. They're very friendly, accommodating and professional. From the owner to the photographer. They were great. We attended a Saturday 9am group, which was great because we just missed the high sun of the day. Our group was maybe 15-18 adults which was unfortunate because there's one guide. Imagine that many kayaks in one area and we couldn't hear a thing. I'd highly suggest groups don't get larger than 8-10 but I understand they have a business to run. Maybe two speaking guides per group or a mic? Anyways, the tour itself took us through maybe a mile of mangroves. Careful with who you bring because you have to go single file through these narrow mangroves. If you aren't careful, you could poke your eye with protruding branches. Lastly, the very end of the tour requires you to paddle across the "lake" to the tour starting place. This was roughly.... 2 miles?! We were going against the wind too. Needless to say we were sweating buckets and completely exhausted at the end. All-in-all, nice staff, cool idea but maybe work through some logistics of group size and tour route.

    We had Lewis as our guide. Get morning paddle, he was very knowledgeable about plant and animal life. Well worth the price.
