• 5Great experience

  We had a wonderful time well worth the money our guide was great. Saw dolphins and lots of birds really enjoyed ourselves. The Shell Island had the best shelves we’ve ever been able to get. Will do it again.

• 5Excellent shelling experience!!

  My husband and I enjoyed the kayak tour. They brought us to an excellent shelling spot, and when we asked to stay longer they were more than accommodating. Kevin was very knowledgeable regarding wildlife. Definitely recommend.

• 4Fun Kayak Tour

  We enjoyed our Guided Kayak Tour. We were the only people on the tour so it was a private tour. Our guided, Kevin, did a great job leading us through all the mangroves.

• 5Mangrove/Channel Kayak Excursion

  Joey contacted me the morning of the excursion and sent confirmation text with detailed directions to the launch site, very clear and helpful. The equipment was in good shape. Island Breeze offered life vests, a dry bag and even a shell collecting bag. Paddling through the mangroves was fun but required some flexibility that is not easy. Fortunately that part of the tour is short lived. The guide,Kevin, was safe and responsible. He lead our group at a pace that was comfortable for everyone. He discussed the flora, fauna and environment. We saw osprey, ibis, egrets, blue herons and the stars of the excursion, two dolphins which swam between the paddle board and my kayak, amazing. After paddling for approximately one hour we beached our kayaks to walk the beach and look for shells. This was a nice break to stretch the legs and give the arms a rest. If you have never visited Florida or you have lived here for twenty years I would highly recommend this adventure.

• 5Great kayak experience.

  First time in a kayak. It was a great experience. We were out about 2 1/2 hours dolphins and different birds. Our guide was informative and made sure we were good and able to hear all he had to say. It was well worth every penny..

About Fort Myers

Fort Myers stands on the Caloosahatchee River in south-west Florida, inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and is known as the City of Palms. Thomas Edison built a winter home and laboratory here in 1886, and Henry Ford later bought the house next door; the two estates are now open as a museum with a botanical garden.
