Kayaking in Naples, Florida shall be termed as an out of the ordinary experience. The calm waters, the views and the rich flora and fauna makes sure there is something for every paddler. During the course of my life, I have been lucky enough to kayak in this coastal paradise, always returning with beautiful experiences from each trip. I would thus, like to record some of my favourite kayaking experiences in Naples and share a few personal stories.
Rookery bay Reserve, in its beauty
Among the first things I remember is the most treasured as well, to paddle on the mangrove tunnels of Rookery Bay Reserve. It was such a quiet morning that the sun of the golden colour was already printed on the water surface. As I maneuverer within the slim passages, I almost felt as had shallow waters swirling around me like mother nature’s hands. The sound of the birds singing and the rustling of the trees was music that took me away from the normal grind of life.
By the time I reached the mid-point of my journey, a pod of dolphins was frolicking in the waters next to me. It was a once in a lifetime experience seeing these beautiful ...
... animals so close. I had to stop paddling to just appreciate the sight, thankful that such wonders of nature exist.
Big Hickory Island Sunset - Family Kayaking
One other activity I would appreciate doing is during the guided kayak tour indulging in the sunset around big hickory Island. The activity had been scheduled to commence in the afternoon, and our few numbers integrated the familia, easing along the water surface of Estero Bay. Our instructor embellished the purpose of the tour with historical events and geographical aspects of the region which was quite nice as no one got bored during the ride.
The transition of day into dusk was stunning, the horizon ablaze with brilliant orange, pink, and purple hues. They were equally miraculous even the water surfaced. It was at this point that I understood the coastal beauty of Naples. To make matters even more breathtaking, a group of pelicans flew above me in a beautiful sunset sky—a scene, I think, from a postcard.
A Day of Adventure with Clear Kayaks
One of the additions on this kayaking adventure in Naples was trying out of clear kayaks for the first time. These offered the advantage of being able to see the underwater world in vivid strokes as one paddled. I had signed up for a trip that ventured into the shallow water surrounding Keewaydin Island.
Through the clear bottom, I saw schools of brightly colored fishes, sting rays in flight, and even a swimming sea turtle. It was as if I was weightlessly hovering over the water, suspended over a whole new world of wonders. This voyage raised my respect for the fragile oceanic creatures which inhabited the waters of Naples.
Birdwatching in Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in sailboat, how helpful it is for an amateur birdwatcher. With binoculars and a waterproof camera, I headed out two hours before the sun rose to explore the local birds of the park.
As I paddled along the coast, I noticed ospreys resting on branches and herons standing in the water. The most thrilling part of the day was watching a bald eagle dive for a fish, which is not something you see every day. Such close proximity to mother nature was heavenly and so calming.
Lessons learned from Kayaking experience in Naples
Each one of these experiences was a learning opportunity for me. It was the theme and practical aspect of utilizing nature, it was the prospect of seeing things differently, it was the relaxation that one gets from simply doing nothing when inside a kayak and many more. This whole Trip of Kayaking in Naples was an upsurge and uplift of one's personality.
In case you are deciding on the next family trip – a kayaking trip in Naples – I would suggest especially getting engaged in the exploration of the land and water biospheres. There is a certain enchantment in store for you irrespective of whether this is your first attempt at paddling or your last. And who knows? Maybe your upcoming trip will turn out as exciting as some of the stories I have to share with you.
