About Get Up and Go Kayaking Naples
Get Up and Go Kayaking brings its signature clear-bottom kayak experience to Naples, launching from Wiggins Pass on Vanderbilt Drive. Their transparent polycarbonate kayaks let paddlers see straight through the hull to the seagrass beds, fish, and stingrays gliding beneath them — a unique twist on the traditional mangrove paddle that has made the brand a hit across multiple Florida locations.
Tours run through the winding mangrove tunnels of Wiggins Pass and along the edge of Barefoot Beach Preserve, with guides pointing out dolphins, manatees, osprey, and other coastal wildlife along the way. Standard and sunset tour times are offered daily, and group sizes are kept small for a more personal experience. No prior kayaking experience is needed — guides provide a full safety briefing and paddling instruction before launching.
The clear kayak concept is what draws most first-timers, but repeat visitors come back for the quality of guiding and the beauty of the Wiggins Pass ecosystem. It is one of the most photographed outdoor experiences in the Naples area, and the company maintains a fleet of well-kept boats with comfortable seating for paddlers of all sizes.
