We’re Celebrating 20 Years!
Welcome to Shurr Adventures – Celebrating 20 Years as One of the First Outfitters in Southwest Florida!
We offer kayak tours in Marco Island, Naples, and the Everglades, providing unique experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
As the only outfitter with Triple Crown Permits, our True Everglades Tour on the Turner River offers the best wildlife and the most sheltered route, with no current or minimal current—perfect for a peaceful paddle without fighting tides or winds.
In Marco Island, we offer the smallest group sizes as we guide you through mangrove mazes and tunnels, with opportunities to see dolphins in their natural habitat.
Our Naples kayak tour gives you the chance to see the elusive manatees and is the most unique tour in the area, shared with only one other outfitter.
A percentage of every tour goes towards the conservation of these amazing areas!
Why Choose Us? Top Ten
Shurr Adventures is the only Southwest Florida outfitter that has the “Triple Crown” of Kayak Launch Permits, operating permits on all 3 of the top Everglades rivers. This gives our guests the unique opportunity to be able to choose for themselves (with our help, of course) which trip will best fit their needs. We don’t have to claim to have the best river to paddle we paddle them all. Manatees, Alligators with babies, Dolphins and so much More!
We one of the few companies with the world famous “Turner river” permit which is hands down the best river to see a variety of Everglades Wildlife. This river is a true everglades freshwater and brackish water paddle, no currents and 3 different ecosystems in one tour!

We started this company 20 years ago with a 1994 geo prism with 220, 000 miles, 1000 dollars in the bank account, and a dream. We absolutely love our job and look forward to helping you plan an amazing tour.
