Gulf Coast Kayak

"Jim was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Our journey started off by seeing dolphins which was incredible! The wildlife in the mangroves was also amazing. We had a fantastic time and I am already planning to bring family on this tour in the future!"

"Bryan gave my husband a great fishing tour experience! We then rented kayaks from him for a week and were thrilled to be able to have some excellent mangrove fishing. We plan to use Gulf Coast Kayak again on our next trip. Excellent customer service, delivery, and great equipment! We highly recommend them!"

"This was the best trip of our week here in Florida. Our guide Jim was so knowledgeable and helpful. We learned about the wildlife and all about the mangroves. We felt very safe as he took all precautions. Jim even took pictures of all of us. The new launch behind the Westin hotel was a perfect location. Don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray and have a BLAST!! ~The Maiden Voyage"

"We took a guided tour and had the most amazing trip. My daughter says gives it fifteen stars (that’s good). Our guide Jim took us to places we didn’t even know existed even though we live only a few miles away. Excellent trip for kids and adults of all ages and skill levels. Book a trip with Gulf Coast Kay and they will give you an adventure of a lifetime."

"My birthday adventure through the mangroves of Matlacha, Florida with Gulf Coast Kayak was nothing short of spectacular! Our guide, Jim, was the epitome of knowledge and hospitality, making our kayaking experience both enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable. Paddling through the serene mangroves was a beautiful way to celebrate, and to my delightful surprise, the group even sang 'Happy Birthday' to me amidst the peaceful mangrove canopy! Jim's expert guidance and friendly demeanor only enhanced the day. It's hard to say if Jim is a part of the mangroves himself, given how at home he is in the waterways, but one thing is for sure - he's a fantastic host and guide! Can't wait to return for another memorable excursion. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Florida!""
