190 Taft Dr

Join us for an unforgettable guided kayak adventure through Sarasota Bay and the world famous Lido Key Mangrove tunnels. We start our tour with a detailed paddle lesson teaching you basics of kayak operation and safety! We then venture out to the open areas of Sarasota Bay -- searching for wildlife encounters with some of our favorite local residents: manatees, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, stingrays, American bald eagles, osprey, countless bird and fish species, and so much more. From there, we take our guests to the most majestic mangrove forrest you will ever see! We paddle through lazy streams of crystal clear water under a protective canopy of mangroves trees. Our guides will keep you safe, entertain you with dad jokes, and teach you all about the the flora, fauna, and history of this amazing area! Our tour starts and ends at the same water access point at Ted Sperling Nature Park.
