Enjoy the thrill of kayaking with wild bottlenose dolphins in the beautiful surrounding waters of Anna Maria Island and Bradenton during sunset.

While on this journey paddlers may also get to see large numbers of native bird species that nest on nearby islands. Our seasoned tour guides will provide you with detailed information about the area, the wildlife, and even take photos to document your experience. While you kayak with dolphins, you will experience one of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Manatee County. Please note that we use tandem kayaks.

It was a beautiful experience kayaking at sunset, seeing dolphins feet away from us and enjoying the scenery. Kinsey, our guide, is a 3rd generation local, who was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He has a great personality too which contributes to him being a top tour guide. Highly recommend the experience!

We had an incredible experience following a pod of dolphins, exploring Beer Can Island, and seeing a beautiful sunset and rainbow. This tour far exceeded my expectations and will be my favorite Florida memory for a long time to come. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and deeply respectful of the wildlife we encountered.
