Adventures Kayaking is a kayak outfitter based in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, offering guided eco tours and short-term kayak rentals. The business runs a Guided Eco Tour to Big Hickory Island and a range of timed rental options — 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours — designed for visitors seeking beach access, wildlife viewing, and shallow-water exploration.
All rentals include coast-appropriate safety equipment: life vests and dry boxes. Instructors provide on-water lessons and basic paddling instruction so first-time kayakers can feel comfortable before launching. Several rental options highlight a hidden beach reachable in approximately 15 minutes by kayak from the Fort Myers Beach launch area.
The Guided Eco Tour to Big Hickory Island focuses on local ecology and shoreline habitats, guided along scenic routes. Longer rental windows, such as the 3- and 4-hour options, allow more time for exploration and beach stops, while the 1- and 2-hour rentals suit quick outings or families with limited time.
