Glenn was awesome! He welcomed us at the Capri Paddlecraft park where he launched our kayak and explained us where to go and handed us a map. His service was impeccable!

We saw a dolphin as soon as we left the beach, it was so spectacular! He was maybe 15ft away from us! And the tunnels are so cool! We literally thought we were lost for a minute when we could barely fit under and between the mangroves but we were fine and ended up being a great experience for me and my boyfriend. Hudson, our pooch, was also able to come with us and enjoyed the ride... and jumped out of the kayak which almost capsized us 😂.

It was a great experience and we strongly recommend Up a Creek Kayak Tours. You can rent a kayak and explore by yourself or have a guide.

Our family was thoroughly impressed with our tour guide Richard. He shed light on a lot of interesting topics and was able to answer all of our questions during the 2.5 hour kayak tour. His background in biology and his witty sense of humor we're the best part of our vacation. Definitely book this kayak tour if you're looking to learn a lot and have fun in the beautiful surroundings and mangroves of Naples Florida.

If you are wanting to kayak, book here...whether first timer or experienced! Captain Lewis was knowledgeable, entertaining, and personable. And photographer "Johnny Depp" was awesome also. He took about 75 pictures of our trip and they are all ours at no charge! Great value! So fun! We plan on purchasing kayaks of our own. :) And we will be back!

Enjoyed every minute of this enchanting and beautiful maze of mangrove 'tunnels.' Richard was an outstanding tour guide. I've been on other tours out of Naples and all the guides do is talk about themselves and their backgrounds (who cares?) but Richard involved the entire group. We will be back!

This tour was phenomenal! Susan and George mapped out a lovely morning. The paddling started off very easy in calm water and we were able to spread out and then gather as needed to hear our guides share all kinds of interesting information. They pointed out ospreys and their nests, and seemed more than happy to answer questions about the water, islands, vegetation, and area history. By the time we got to more open water we were ready for the extra challenge. The sandy island where we stopped for a break and a snack was full of interesting shells and sea life, and our guides were full of information for those who were interested. We were lucky and saw dolphins and a stingray! The trip back was relaxing and beautiful. We highly recommend this company and tour!

A college aged daughter of friends came to visit over spring break. As I was working, I needed to find fun and interesting things that she could do while I was out. This kayaking adventure was actually her favorite. They were out for 3 hours, saw a lot of things and had a really good time. The couple that own and run Up a Creek Kayak Tours are so experienced and know how to keep everyone interested and involved. This is highly recommended!

Although I have kayaked many times, this tour was very informative, interesting, and accommodating to even novice kayakers. Susan and her husband are very patient and helpful and quick to point out all of the sights and sounds of the area. Even if you aren't in the best of shape the distance is doable. Raccoons, Dolphins and nesting Osperys were the highlights of our trip, as was the much needed exercise. I will go on another one of their trips!

My friend and I first met Susan and George at a launch site on Isles of Capri. Their tour for that day was already full, but we were later able to sign up with them on their 3-hour 12 Island Tour out of Goodland. It was the final day of our vacation, and just the two of us in the group.

We found their kayaks extremely comfortable and the paddles were a nice weight. Susan steadied my boat as I got in and out, which I truly appreciated as I have a knee that is often uncooperative.

What a lovely day! We’d never paddled in this particular area before, and as we headed out toward Coon Key, Susan and George shared tons of information about the ecosystem we were passing through. They helped us sight and identify numerous birds and showed us several little mangrove tree crabs which I’d never seen before. George pointed out a Great Blue Heron standing in an unusual display position; even though we often see Great Blues here in Minnesota, I’d never seen one do that!

We had a marvelous tour and thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. We will definitely go out with them the next time we come to Marco Island, and highly recommend that anyone interested in a stunning, informative day on the water sign up for one of their outings.

The instruction was great. I felt confident with our small group maneuvering through the waters. It was really fun and a nice adventure that I would not have done on my own.

We have gone with Susan twice, once for the evening cruise and once for a morning outing. She is a great guide and we and our friends all had an excellent time. We will definitely do it again. Our friends from Europe particularly found it fascinating to see the natural Florida vegetation and Everglades environment up close. They are really turned off by the loudness of airboats and loved the kayaking.

Thank You for your kind review. I find kayaking to be very peaceful and quiet and I'm happy you and your friends did also.
