Paddle Estero Bay’s mangrove tunnels, watch for coastal wildlife, and unwind on a shell-strewn beach on this guided kayak tour.

About this tour

Paddle into the quiet mangrove tunnels of Estero Bay on a Bonita Springs guided kayak tour, then trade the shaded waterways for a shell-strewn beach. This 150-minute outing pairs easygoing time on the water with a chance to see Southwest Florida’s coastal wildlife.

Follow a knowledgeable local guide through the mangroves, watching for pelicans and herons overhead, dolphins in the bay, and perhaps a manatee. After about 15 minutes of easy paddling, arrive at a relaxing private beach where you can take in the scenery and look for shells. Kayaks, paddles, life vests, a dry bag for keys and phones, and a mesh shell bag are provided. You can also bring your own kayak or SUP, and dogs are permitted.

Whether you’re drawn by the winding mangrove passages, the wildlife, or a peaceful beach stop, this Bonita Springs guided kayak tour offers a memorable way to experience Estero Bay. Set out and discover the coast from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 37 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Fort Myers
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 14% in Fort Myers means it ranks in the top 14% of tours in Fort Myers by this score.
