Q&A
A: There aren't strict age limits, but it really depends on the child's ability to paddle and follow instructions. Kids as young as 5 can join in a tandem kayak with an adult, but for solo kayaks, I'd recommend at least 12 years old. Just check with the provider for specific policies!
A: Light, quick-drying clothes are best. I'd recommend wearing a swimsuit or athletic wear that you don't mind getting wet. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat! It can get hot, so staying cool is key.
A: Parking can be tricky, especially on busy weekends. There's a small lot near the launch site, but it fills up fast. I suggest arriving early or consider carpooling if you can! You might also find street parking a bit further away.

Thinking of gifting a kayak rental for my parents - worth it?
My parents have never kayaked before but love the outdoors. I'm looking at the kayak and SUP rentals at Big Hickory Island in Fort Myers. The idea of them paddling around the beautiful waters sounds perfect, especially with those guided maps! Anyone done this before? How was it? Any tips?
Just came back from Big Hickory Island - what a blast!
I took a solo kayak tour, and it was awesome! The guides gave me a detailed map of all the cool spots to check out, plus I saw dolphins! The gear was included, which made it super easy. If you’re thinking about going, do it! Totally relaxing experience.
