Sarasota Guided Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour
Description
There is a reason that the Mangrove Tunnels of Lido Key are a must-do experience when visiting the Gulf Coast. We launch from Ted Sperling Nature Park (190 Taft Dr Sarasota FL) which has clean restrooms, a rinsing shower, and shaded picnic tables. Our amazing local guides from Sea Life Kayak Adventures take you on a tour of Little Sarasota Bay, where you may see manatees, dolphins, a variety of birds and sea life...then finish up in the famous mangrove tunnels, a beautiful canopy that meanders thru an island. The tour usually goes around 2 hours, but we aren't on a strict schedule, so please allow for an extra half hour. We are located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, 20 minutes from Siesta Key, and a half hour from Anna Maria Island and Bradenton (add time for traffic during high season. We meet a HALF HOUR before our tours)

Kenneth Ellington did a great job! We enjoyed our kayak tour its was our second time going and we will continue to come year after year! Kenneth was thorough through out the experience.
We had a great time. Our family enjoyed the e experience!
Fun, it was a blast. Exciting and educational. Ian was entertaining and witty. I knew we would getvalong from the beginning
This was a truly wonderful experience. The tunnels were beautiful and our discovery of manatees fulfilled my dream. My guide, Joan, imparted exceptional information on everything from plant and animal biology, history, ecology and geology to the Fibonacci series throughout the entire trip. He was accommodating and extraordinarily knowledgeable. The tour was the highlight of my trip and I could not recommend them more highly.
very fun and educational experience, humorous host ian! will definitely be returning:)
Joann was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the ecology of the mangroves and bay as well as Sarasota was very interesting and informative. His humor also made it entertaining.
Highly recommend kayaking the mangroves through sea life kayaking rentals and tours. We had an amazing time. Great kayak for rent. Would do again and again.
Joann did a great job with our group. Lots of info about the area with some humor mixed in! Made sure everyone was having a great time. Easy to book and meet up. Highly recommend Sea Life Kayak tours!
Very cool kayaking adventure through the mangroves and along the bay. Saw fish, seagulls, little crabs, and all sorts of Florida fauna. Interesting to hear the history of the area and experience the mangrove tunnels.
Ian was a great guide with a sense of humor. It was relaxing and educational.
