Myers Beach, Tigertail Beach and Pensacola Beach, fringe the Gulf, down the I-75 from Tampa to Naples. Sanibel Island’s shelling attracts thousands. Cape Coral’s waters are paradise for flyfishing. Golfers adore spectacular courses in Marco Island and Naples. Glorious sunny days and deliciously warm turquoise waters beckon in this often overlooked corner of the Sunshine State.

We had a group of 8 fifty-somethings with varying levels of experience kayaking and we all had a great time. The waterway was lovely, we saw lots of different birds and seeing some of the expensive homes on the water was a treat. They were so accommodating to make sure each kayak was a perfect fit.

Chase is a great guide and this is a safe and fun way to spend the morning. We didn’t see a ton of wildlife up close but did manage to see a few dolphins and fish jumping in the distance. The motorized raft is fun to drive and can move quicker than you’d think!
