2.Easy Ride Pedal Kayak Tour Marco Island & Naples (Pedal or Paddle

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,065 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) Top rated

Launch from Capri Paddlecraft Park near Naples for a roughly two-hour guided tour through Marco Island’s mangroves. Rammel leads the group by pedal or paddle kayak, teaching you about birds, sea life, and conservation. The stable Hobie pedal kayaks suit beginners and many physical abilities. Dolphins and manatees are possible, not guaranteed.

“Pedal kayaking is so easy!! As long as you are able to walk you are able to pedal without much effort or stamina. It was beautiful to see the mangroves and wild life so up close. The tour guide was amazing!!! You can tell he really loves his job and spreading awareness about the ocean creatures. Although we didn’t see too much wildlife -maybe because it’s May- we still got to experience seeing manatees. I would do this tour every time I’m back in Florida! My only advice is to wear shoes and clothes that you’re willing to get wet, lots of sunscreen and water!!”

From Goodland Boating Park, a shaded boat carries you through the Gulf waters toward Cape Romano and the Ten Thousand Islands.

“Great boat trip! Just long enough (2 hrs) to see dolphins, collect some shells, and see a couple of manatees. Our captains (Marco and Elliott) were very knowledgeable about the area and sea life. Their personal stories were very informative and interesting. Our young kids had a blast. We would book this again on our next trip to Marco Island.”
