I've rented here before and went with an experienced friend. Went on a tour this time. Our guide, Hannah, was AMAZING! So knowledgeable about EVERYTHING on the tour! I had my 12& 13 yr old grands, first time kayaking, we all felt safe and had a great time! Will absolutely Return and ask for Hannah again! Only negative is the address on maps will take you TO NAPLES, not the kayaking spot in Bonita Springs. read more

Had a great time with Cameron on October 6th. His enthusiasm for birds and shells was evident in his excitement to share his knowledge with the 10 of us kayakers. He shared he was getting an advanced degree in marine science and thought us how all the wildlife is so very intertwined. The kayaks were fairly easy to use and as a first time kayaker it was great to get some photos that Cameron took. I did get tangled in the mangroves, but got untangled just as fast. We didn't see dolphins and didn't expect to see manatees as October, it'not the season. Was a good time and I would book again. Pro tip- definitely bring drinking water and yes, they are in the middle of the road and don't have an actual hut. Work out of the van and kayaks are ready to go when u get there. read more

The staff was awesome and so helpful & the location Easy to find. . Mike was great and the girl with tattoos rocked, too! Probably not of interest to most, but the kayak seats were very comfortable. Both adults on the trip have back issues and I have an old sacrum injury. These seats a firm foam and super comfortable. We were able to get a kayak for three, which was really awesome as we had a small 10 year old with us. The paddle was great and they have a dry bag for you to use, included with the rental. The highlight was the little island near the start of the paddle. The shells were amazing and the island was only sparsely populated. We saw a lot of birds and a dolphin swam around the kayak for a few minutes- great experience. We did not do a tour, but bumped into them on our path and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to push the easy button and relax. It was certainly worth the drive from Naples. Also, tip: book directly on their website. read more

Book your adventure in advance online and bring your own sunscreen, towels, food, and beverages! The provided the kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, dry bag, and map. We will defiantly be back for more! read more

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 ask "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 piont to write a review later. The area is very lovely and mangroves were fun to navigate, but I can not recommend this company. We are shocked at all the positive reviews, frankly. Maybe they were having an off day, who knows. read more

We loved the trip. The scenery was beautiful. We kayaked through the mangrove channels and tunnels. Brenda was very knowledgeable and educated us along the way. Stopped at a beach and had time to swim or walk and looks for shells. We had people of all skill levels and everyone was participate. read more

Mike was our tour guide for a 9am ride and what a beautiful time we had! Meandering through mangroves and spending time at a small preserve island, teaching us about wild life and the changes that have gone on in the area. Mike made the paddle very relaxing and has a very enjoyable personality. Any ladies looking for a man? We got a John B doppelgänger! Thanks again! read more

We checked this place out on a whim while looking for a place to rent kayaks from earlier this week. The whole process is easy and they give you clear instructions with a map of where you should go!! One suggestion would be to make the map buoyant for those who tip their kayaks over, lol. Overall a great experience. Will definitely rent from there again!! read more

Awesome place - our guide Tyler was very knowledgeable, helpful, and our group had a great time. Also, 2-2.5 hours is the perfect amount of time for an activity like this. Would highly recommend you check this out if you're interested in an activity like this in Naples! read more

The ocean called us so that is where went. I called and reached the owner Brent who said he would meet us at noon with a tandem sit on top Kayak on this Easter Sunday. We didn't immediately find where the meet up was but with a quick call back we were only 20 seconds drive from the destination. Brent was punctual and even had a drop box that allowed us to put our car keys and phones in it so we could continue to document our adventure. After nearly two hours on the waters we missed the chance to see the Dolphins but we had a good time seeing an Osprey and playing in the water. The journey took us through the rich mangroves and snaked through to the inlet into the open gulf. The currents were manageable and we also saw many other Yakers and Paddle-boards sharing the fun under the Sun. Three hours for 60 dollars was the rate and we thought it was reasonable. Brent was waiting for us when we got back and we thanked him before we departed. read more

This was a super fun and easy tour. Cameron was so enthusiastic and engaging! We had a great time

My friend and I had an amazing time on our kayaking tour with Cameron, we learned so much about shells, birds, local history, and even got to see a rare baby blue heron. Everything was ready to go for us when we arrived, Cameron and his team were on time and actually there early. Cameron helped us in and out of the boat and we barely got our feet wet, lol. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, it was definitely a fun and educational way to spend the morning. read more

Went out with Cameron as our guide on 4/8/24 for the solar eclipse. it was absolutely amazing. He is the BEST. The trip was exactly what we wanted and we will go back and always request Cameron to guide us. He is very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be around. read more

PADDLE NAPLES delivered a trouble free kayak rentals. Brent was there as stated he would be. Set it all up provided a very comfortable atmosphere for folks who had never been kayaking. The area was rich in beautiful scenery and wildlife. From birds to a dolphin literally an arms length away. AWESOME and we didn't have to go to Sea World or Disney. LOL!!! Thanks Brent for a GREAT time!!! read more

Mike was our tour and he was great! the best kayak adventure I've ever had. It was through the mangroves and he was informative about the nature around us. saw a dolphin and if our kayaks floated away when we docked he went out to get them. thanks Mike! read more

My family of five had an awesome day on the water, using kayaks we rented from Paddle Naples. The kayaks worked great, the private beach was amazing (a dolphin swan 20 ft from us!) and the area was beautiful. Brent provided us with a laminated map. We overshot the inlet where we needed to return the kayaks. Tip: If you reach the sign that says "Marker 8," you've gone too far! read more

Our kayaks guided tour was fantastic! I would recommend the 2.5 hour tour as it gives you enough time to see everything and not be rushed. Our guide, Tyler, was very informative and shared insightful information about all things Florida while being able to answer questions. I would highly recommend Paddle Naples. read more

Two of us had a reservation for Clear Kayak guided tour to start at 9:30 am. Got there a little early and guides were ready and waiting for us. Tyler and Michael were friendly and informative. Tyler took us out, through the mangroves and into Estero Bay before heading towards the Gulf. We stopped to shell for a bit on Big Hickory - beauty abounds! Tyler was incredibly informative and had the answer to every question we could throw at him. He surprised us with an airdrop of almost 40 pictures when we got back, most of which we weren't even aware he had taken. The pictures look professional and caught the feel of the trip beautifully. Highly recommend Paddle Naples and especially Guide Tyler! read more

We just moved to the area and have tried a couple of Kayak rentals. This one is by far our favorite!!! Brent is always on time with the delivery of the kayaks and always professional. I have heard great things about his tours. We have not tried one yet(we have explored on our own) but I am sure they are amazing! I highly recommend this company and if you are looking for an amazing kayak experience you have found the right place. Kayaks are always clean and ready when you arrive. I have never had to wait! So when looking for a place to rent kayaks look no further this is the BEST!!! read more

Always rent kayaks from Paddle Naples. They had our kayaks in the water and ready to go. A map is provided. We go out to the beach and go shelling too. Today we had a dolphin swim along with us. Super fun! Love this business! read more

The best of the best! Clean, safe, experts in environment and just nice people. They support the environment and will answer questions about plants and wildlife whether you're their customer or not. Supportive to beginners and provide dry boxes and laminated maps. They support community safety goals too. Their rates are the lowest because they have the highest volume of rentals around. I always recommend Paddle Naples. read more

Nice experience, a very laid back tour guide made everything very relaxing. I just wish we could have seen some more wildlife, but that's in nature's hands. The only negative I have to add is it was a scorching hot day and we were not offered any water for the hours we were out there. On the site it promised at least a bottle of water. read more

Had an amazing experience today. At my suggestion, two friends rented boards from Paddle Naples. All went well until one of the ladies got faint and could not fight the current entering Estero Bay. I was able to get to her and tow her to Lovers Key beach. Found a boat that took her back to the Hyatt and they arranged to get her to Coconut Point Mall. In the meantime, Brent had seen that we were in trouble as he was leading a tour. He called the other friend of mine who had made it to safety to see what was going on. She called me and I told her what was happening. Brent picked my friend up from Coconut Point Mall and also managed to get the board back somehow. He brought her to us at the Commons Club beach. Now that is amazing and rare and shows that this company is not just about renting boards, but making sure their clients are safe. Brent is the only person I would ever recommend to my friends. Had friends rent from him before and was very impressed but until you have an almost tragedy do you really appreciate how important it is to rent from a company that cares. You're the best, Brent! read more

Brent took my mom, aunt & me out for an eco kayak tour. We had an excellent time and saw a whole variety of landscapes & wildlife, including a manatee! Brent was very knowledgeable and adjusted the tour to fit our pace and interests. We will be back for sure & highly recommend supporting this local small business! read more

Last month, myself and family had the opportunity to go kayaking with Paddle Naples. Not knowing the area, I signed us up for a kayaking tour and was not let down. Brent and his partner were on time and professional. You can always see when individuals enjoy their job- after a couple of hours on a tour with Paddle Naples, you can clearly see they enjoy their job. We saw dolphins, birds and sea life. We will definitely be going back for future tours and rentals, thank you, read more

My husband and I went out kayaking and had the best time! The kayak seats were very comfortable. Brent had a map and dry box for our phones (yes, bring your phone!) We saw many different kinds of birds, fish jumping, Jet skis, paddleboards, boats and watching people fishing so much fun. These is a restaurant you can go to and have lunch and adult beverages! One of the best experiences we have ever had was a today when a mother and baby dolphin decided to swim right beside us! We could have reached out and petted them. Truly amazing! Brent is a wonderful person he also has several ways of paying which is also nice! read more

The best! The staff is so professional, accommodating, consistent, responsible and knowledgeable. Paddle through beautiful and peaceful mangrove trails to a private beach (accessible by paddlers only) right on the gulf where the shelling is exquisite! Watch dolphins play! The equipment is top-notch and the team provides extra perks like dry boxes for your phone/camera. If you want a professional tour from those who know the history, the fauna and the wildlife, take the tour also. Best for everyone, including children and dogs too! We go often and love it every time! read more

Our family had an awesome day today. We did four hours of in-shore fishing with Brent as our guide and captain. We caught mangrove snapper, sheepshead, snook, sea trout, and more. A bonus was hanging with a pair of dolphins that circled us all day. Brent is an excellent host. He was a lot of fun to spend the day with and a great teacher. Thanks for the highlight of our vacation! read more
