5.00My sister and I had a wonderful time. Our tour guy, Sky, was excellent. Our guided tour lasted 3 hours. This tour uses pedal kayaks, which are excellent for tours like this. You are using leg muscles and not arm muscles, it is easier to turn and you sit higher in the kayak, so you don't get wet. We kayaked through narrow mangrove water trails. We saw manatees. We had cormorants follow us and catch fish around our kayaks. We highly recommend this guided kayak tour and Sky, our tour guide.

5.00I took this tour with my father and we couldn’t stop talking about it for the rest of our trip! Our guide was truly an expert naturalist, pointing out sights and species along the way while being so thoughtful and accommodating to our different ability levels. The pedal kayaks were super easy/intuitive, and allowed me to use binoculars and take photos too. Thank you SO much - we can’t recommend this experience enough!
Fun afternoon on the water

5.00Skye was an amazing tour guide, he is very knowledgeable and really wants to make sure you have a great experience. This was our first time on a paddle kayak and we found them to be really easy to use. We toured the mangroves, saw some manatees, dolphins and sea birds. We also learned quite a bit about the mangroves and the marine life that lives there. The tour is about 2 to 2.5 hours but it went by very quickly, I highly recommend this tour.
DO IT

5.00Skye was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable about the local plants and animals. Excellent at instructing those of us who hadn’t been pedal kayaking before. I can’t say enough good things about this excursion! I would definitely do this again if I return to Sarasota. Thank you Skye for the awesome afternoon!
