Rent A Kayak In Florida And Spend The Day With Dolphins

One of the greatest things about living in Florida is being so close to both the Gulf and the ocean. There is a whole other world beneath those waves that Floridians get a front row seat to. Any time you’re able to rent a kayak in Florida and explore, do it! You’ll never know what you’ll come across. And if you’re lucky enough to take this kayak tour in Matlacha, Florida, then get ready for an epic dolphin adventure you’ll never forget.

Gulf Coast Kayak in Matlacha, Florida offers an experience that will show you a completely different side of Florida.

This one-of-a-kind coastal adventure allows visitors to take to the Gulf for the afternoon or evening and enjoy the privacy and solitude of being out on the ocean.

Not only can you paddle your way through the overgrown mangroves, peeking in at the manatees lazing about underwater…

…but you’ll also be able to take to the bay and the open waterways and catch a glimpse of dolphins as they come out to play.

If you’ve never seen dolphins out in the wild this close before, this is surely to be an adventure that you’ll never forget.

Gulf Coast Kayak tours has been open since 1992, taking guests through the Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve with easy to paddle kayaks.

Visitors can participate in the guided tours and paddle their way through part of the Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail, which is a 190-mile marked trail that has a whole mix of sea creatures from manatees to stingrays, and sea turtles to dolphins.

For those who prefer to paddle their own way, kayak rentals are available with a life vest and paddle included.

But if you really want an experience from Gulf Coast Kayak tours, we recommend the guided eco-tour for the best chance at paddling with the dolphins around the preserve.
