The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a refillable water bottle

Temperatures can rise quickly—carry at least 20–24 oz of water for a 90-minute ride, more in summer.

Use sunscreen and a brimmed hat

Sun is strong year-round; apply broad-spectrum SPF and use a hat under your helmet for added protection.

Watch for pedestrians and dogs near the pier

Slow down through busy areas like Naples Pier and 5th Avenue, where foot traffic and pets are common.

Reserve morning or late-afternoon slots

Book early or late to avoid midday heat and catch the best light for photos along the Gulf.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Tin City waterfront district for quick local seafood bites and historic warehouses
  • Naples Preserve boardwalk for quiet mangrove views a short ride from downtown

Wildlife

Conservation Note

Respect dune vegetation and mangroves; avoid disturbing shorebirds and never feed wildlife—these areas rely on careful stewardship to remain healthy.

Naples grew from a late-19th-century railroad and fishing hub; the Naples Pier, originally built in 1888, anchored early coastal commerce and community life.
