We discussed my original plan, and unfortunately I had not planned well enough. Dylan helped me adjust my plan, and guide me to a better, more attainable set of camping sites. With his knowledge and advice, I ended up leaving one day later, BUT it was definitely for the best. Dylan's knowledge is key! Always take his advice! By taking Dylan's tips and advice, I had an amazing kayak camping experience - I paddled out to Tiger key, during the calm part of my trip, and then hunkered down on Tiger for a few days - which Dylan had warned there would be a storm. With his advice, I took a book and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I paddled around some of the other Keys and headed back on a safer day. My Eco tour was with Alec, and he was an excellent tour guide - he took us through the mangroves and we saw some alligators, water fowl, and ospreys- super dope! He gave us some really interesting history about Big Cypress and the Everglades, and was all around just awesome. Finally, shoutout to Matt, who was super helpful setting up my kayak rental and getting me paddles. He went above and beyond to make sure I had two sets of breakdown paddles for my journey - just awesome! Thanks so much Dylan, Alec and Matt, you all rock! Highly recommended!

We had great time kayaking with the Everglades Adventures Kayak tours. We requested in advance and…read morewere able to secure a private tour for just the six of our group. In all the kayak tours I have had (which is plenty) this was one of the most memorable one. The tour guide was excellent and we were lucky to see lots of wildlife. We took the morning tour but also heard the afternoon (sunset) tour was excellent as well. Thus, next time we return to Everglades area we are surely doing the tour. Five star kayak tour! Highly recommend

My friends and I declare that the Pirates of Marco Island is our FAVORITE outing...and we all live…read morehere! We had such an amazing time out on the boat for the sunset cruise. For $30 in season, this is a great deal for a 1.5 hour boat ride that leaves from Rose Marina. The boat had about 100 guests on it that night and still didn't feel too crowded. There aren't seats for everyone, but you really do just want to stand along the side of the boat for the best views as you cruise alone the Marco Island canals up to the Esplanade and then out to the Gulf for the sunset. The DJ and cruise director was outstanding, keeping us all dancing and having fun as soon as we stepped onto the boat. The bar serves beer, wine, and a few cocktails, as well as soda and water. The bar line was quite long and slow-moving as soon we boarded, but it opened up a bit halfway through the ride. And definitely bring cash (there's a $3 service charge for using credit cards). We all got off the boat and cannot wait to do this again!

Mackle Park was named in honor of Frank E. Mackle Jr. (1916-1993). Mackle was a developer who had…read morepreviously developed Key Biscayne with his brothers. Frank arrived in what was then a primitive Marco Island in 1962 and saw potential in the undeveloped town. He was soon joined in the venture by his brothers, Elliott and Robert. All of the brothers were engineers and were employed by the Deltona Corporation founded by their father. Frank became the President of the Deltona Corporation and led the modernization of Marco Island. Mackle Park is impressive as it has everything that residents and visitors to Marco Island could want in outdoor recreation. The park has a community center with teen center, basketball court, bocce courts, open field area for play, picnic area, shuffleboard courts, a soccer/football field, volleyball court, and splash pad. One of the standout feature of the park is the creative playground that is a hit with kids. It has a pirate ship, castle turrets, and lots of places to climb and engage in imaginative play. My favorite part of the park is the beautifully landscaped walking path that winds around the lake. A sign at the entrance to the trail shows how you can increase the half mile walk around the lake to .9 miles by incorporating walking the perimeter of the fields in the back of the park. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous jog. The lake is also a great place to bird watch and fish. Mackle Park has something for everyone. It offers a blend of recreational facilities and natural beauty that makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you're looking to let the kids play, enjoy a peaceful walk, or partake in community events or a class, Mackle Park offers it all and more.

We called ahead and scheduled a time to pick up the wheel chair from their location a half hour drive from Naples (delivery is possible as well, but we rented an SUV which allowed for easy transport.) The chair itself had two removable buoyant arm rests and the whole thing folded in half. The arm rests combined with the three large air filled wheels made it possible to push the chair on loose sand and then straight into the water where our Dad could enjoy the waves. The chair had no problem transitioning from the water to the sand and back, and our Dad is 6'3". Thanks to the chair we were able to visit many of the beaches near Naples with ease. If you're in the area and are looking to provide the opportunity for someone with limited mobility to enjoy the beach AND the water then look no further than Beach Bum Rentals. Holly, the owner, was very responsive, accommodating, and kind. We hope to do business with her in the future.

This park was named in honor of Jane Hittler (September 16,1914 - January 12, 2006). Jane was known as the First Lady of Marco Island for helping to develop the city since 1967. Some of her many accomplishments and awards included renovating the Marco Island Cemetery in 1969, founded the Maro Island Youth Center in 1973, Grandmother and Chairman of YMCA in 1977, Citizen of the Year in 1984, Woman Achiever of Collier County in 1986, National Landscape Award for Beautification of Marco Island received at White House in 1988, Islander of Year in 1992, Dedication of MJ Hittler Park in 1992, and Distinguished Eagle Award, Fundraiser for development of Urgent Care Center, Volunteer in 2001. Jane was a founding member of the Marco Island Historical Society, served for 20 years on the Collier County Beautification Committee, was instrumental in funding the five parks in Marco Island, was the first leader of the Annual Prayer Breakfast, and promoted the creation of the Marco island Museum Building. Jane Hittler's dedication to Marco Island was deep and she was the driving force behind so many of the projects that made the community a better place to live. After opening in 1992, the park was redesigned in 2008 and it reopened on March 25, 2009. One of Hittler Park's best features is the beautiful view of Smokehouse Bay. There are also benches, public art, a community board, and a paved walkway. It is the perfect spot to fish or just relax as I did on a beautiful afternoon. Other than the rather unfortunate name, this park is a gem of tranquility in Marco Island.
