  Mike Devlin of Paradise Coast Kayak Tours is an EXCELLENT instructor. Several members of my family wanted to learn all about kayaking and signed up for a series of... read more lessons with him. Mike took them from total beginners to the point they were able to do advanced moves. The change in their skill level was amazing. What really impressed me is two of my teens were very hesitant about kayaking yet Mike was able to get them enthusiastic about learning because he made the lessons FUN. They said they love kayaking now. Mike not only has a lot more experience than most instructors, but he also has a passion for the sport which he conveys to his students. We met several of his advanced students and they all rave about Mike. So glad we found him.

  It’s been 2 years since I took my first lesson with Mike Devlin. Have paddled with Mike on many occasions since then and must say it is always a fun... read more day when Mike is on the water. I’ve watched him with many new students and am always impressed with how patient he is with those who are just beginning. Even if you have been paddling for years, you will still learn something new from him.

His tours are unique because they are private and the amount of time you spend on your tour is really up to you. When you book a tour with Mike it’s just your group. You are not mixed in with other groups who may want to go longer or shorter than you do. So no money is wasted and the experience is much more relaxed and enjoyable. I believe Mikes tour is the best value in the Naples area and you are touring with a knowledgeable experienced guide who has been kayaking for over 20 years! He must be doing a lot right!!!!
