Estero River Outfitters

Spend a romantic day kayaking through mangroves, palm trees and moss covered oaks, on the Estero River. Rent individual kayaks here instead of a double, and paddle alongside each other. There are numerous beautiful sites to pull over for a picnic, the first one being the Koreshan State Historic Site. But try to hold out for the four and a half mile paddle into the Estero Bay. Here you will find more private places to beach your boat. Another option for exploration is the historic Mound Key, sitting some thirty feet above sea level. Walk through the mangrove forest and sit atop the huge shell mound for an amazing view of the coasts of Bonita Springs and Fort Myers. The great outdoors, sunshine, water, a cooler filled with your favorite eats and your date; a perfect recipe for romance.
