Rookery Bay Beginner Kayak Tour

This is our "get your feet wet kayak tour." Almost all other Naples and Marco Island Tour companies offer this route. The main difference will be our certified year-round Adventure Paddle Tours guides and our pledge as a 1% for the Planet Member. Adventure Paddle Tours is a true Eco-tour company, providing safe and entertaining tours while also giving back to the local wildlife refuges and conservation areas. We are not a pop-up kayak outfitter like so many other recently new outfits. If you are looking for something more unique with a higher chance to spot wildlife check out our number one selling Manatees and Mangroves tour.

Our closest tour to Marco Island and Naples makes this an excellent option for guests short on time or for those not quite ready for the full Everglades experience offered through our number-one selling Manatees and Mangroves tour. This tour launches from a small watercraft boat ramp at the end of Shell Island Rd. Guests will first experience a short but detailed safety talk and paddle lesson from our certified kayak guides. Once completed, we will paddle through a small and protected bay, giving guests ample time to find their rhythm while getting to know each other in the group. When exiting this bay, you should immediately be on the lookout for dolphins, waterfowl, and sometimes manatees, as this stretch can be a hotspot for wildlife. From here, you may paddle east or west depending on wind and current, and at any moment, guests might enjoy an unscripted natural history discussion ranging from dolphins to Native Americans. These discussions are often dictated by what might be encountered throughout the tour. We consider this tour our introduction to kayaking and our native ecosystems. This tour will travel around three miles weaving in and out of Bays and small mangrove tunnels.
