PFDs and dry boxes are included, along with a well-marked map of the island that we'll go over with you before sending you off to explore.

    Our Five-Star paddle routes take you through Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico’s most incredible wildlife habitat... including mangrove tunnels, secluded beaches, and prime shelling areas! Be on the lookout for dolphins and manatees!
