Planning Your Trip

Kayaking is for Nature Lovers and Adventure Enthusiasts. Start enjoying a healthier lifestyle and go kayaking. Discover Florida like Ponce de León did some 500 years ago. There is so much more to discover.

Some of the best places to kayak in Southwest Florida are the creeks and rivers within our local parks. The calm waters provide easy paddling and drifting with plenty of time for photographic opportunities, bird watching, fishing, and sightseeing. Not all kayaking involves treacherous rapids or risking a head on collision with a rock. We usually have very calm water for easy kayaking and don’t hesitate to cancel in the event of a major storm.

Start to plan your next adventure with Kayak Eco Tours guided kayak tours. Reserve your kayaks for special events or schedule tours for small groups. Nobody goes alone. You can sign up with one of our many meet up groups and receive discount pricing for specialty tours. We have meet up group forums and provide kayaks for special events.

We provide you with the latest kayak, equipment, and gear. Each trip will usually start with our group meeting at a designated restaurant or kayak launch.  We try to find locations with restroom facilities whenever possible.  Some locations only have an outhouse.  We provide a small dry bag for your cell phone and personal items.  Most of the kayaks have room for a small cooler, but we don’t provide one.  Plan on being outside so bring your sun screen, hat, and plenty of water.  We recommend having at least 2 bottles of water for each person.  It’s best to wear old tennis shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.   Expect to get wet.  Bring a change of dry clothes to leave in your car.   We launch and load the kayaks for you, and our Kayak Specialist will answer any questions before you get situated on top of the kayak. We want your trip to be very enjoyable and plan to drift with the tides whenever possible.

If you are new to kayaking but enjoy sightseeing, then we recommend that you try one of our wider and more stable sit on top kayaks. You will discover the best that Florida has to offer; better than any other attraction and certainly more memorable.  Whether you’re looking for an afternoon excursion, a vacation or something special like a family reunion, we’ve got the gear and expertise to help you enjoy the great outdoors.
