Kayaking Off Sanibel Island
Posted by on Aug 1, 2008 in Outdoor Activities | 2 comments
Bet you didn’t know about all the great kayaking adventures in and around Sanibel and Captiva, did you?
Well, I’m here to tell you that they are awesome and certainly for all ages and fitness levels.
There are a number of outfitting companies all ready to get you lined up and on your paddling way, whether striking out on your own or with a scheduled group excursion. I’ve done both and they are each individually unique and great fun!
Here’s a list to the top 11 kayaking outfitters in and around Sanibel Island and their websites. There’s even a fun interactive map located on the right side of the page.
Oh, I almost forgot, there’s also a 190-mile marked paddling trail through Lee County known as the Great Calusa Blueway that takes paddlers on an historic journey of the Calusa Indians that lived on these islands for centuries. Really fascinating! Be sure to check out their site!
That’s it for this week… Happy Paddling!
Until next post,
Sandy and Robert

What a great idea to use a kayaking trail. I’ll try to check that out next trip to Sanibel.
