Great tour through the mangroves with Skye.

We had an amazing time on the pedal kayak tour with Skye. He was informative, helpful and funny and very patient, especially with my 10 year old who he pulled along at times when she got tired. We switched to the pedals through the mangroves as it was too shallow for the pedals, which was a whole new experience, ducking under the branches and looking at the wildlife. Highly recommend tour.

Relaxed, Fun, Interesting!

Skye is an excellent guide, working well with both the experienced and less experience Kayakers. He is knowledgeable about the wildlife and has excellent observation skills to find the wildlife. It was relaxed, fun, and interesting. We would go again!

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing kayak tour from Lido Key and the mangrove tunnels! Our guide, Sky, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing. One of the highlights was seeing the manatee, which was such an unforgettable experience. Paddling through the mangrove trails was beautiful, and Sky shared interesting information about the local wildlife and ecosystem along the way. Whether you’re visiting Sarasota or you’re a local looking for an adventure, I highly recommend this tour. The scenery was stunning, the wildlife was incredible, and Sky made it a truly memorable experience. Five stars!

Amazing experience! Truly spectacular!

Sky was a wonderful tour guide. Super down to earth and friendly. Very informative without bombarding us with information. He showed us all sorts of sea creatures and flora. He really helped my daughter who got a little over heated at the end of the tour. Highly recommend going on his tour!!!

Highly recommend!!

Expirence was amazing! It was definitely worth my time. The padle kyaks made the expirence more pleasurable and a great work out with easy instructions and we had everything to keep us safe.Skye was so much fun he was a very nice person and went above and beyond to make our experience worth it. He even risked catching a stone crab and 1 point crab 0 skye because he got a good pinch. He showed us beautiful sites and was determined to meet our needs in finding different animals. No luck finding any manatees, but saw dolphins, birds, crabs, and different assortment of fish. I highly recommend his tour!

Operator response

Thanks for the review! I got what was coming to me from that stone crab!

Great Experience and Wonderful Guide

Skye (our guide) was personable and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job explaining everything we were doing/looking at. The whole experience was fun, involved a lot of laughing, and we even got to learn some new things. He had a willingness to quench our curiosities and went out of his way to make the most of our time. Pedal kayaking was a fantastic experience that does require a bit of leg work, but I felt wasn’t as taxing as traditional kayaking would have been. I highly recommend booking with Liquid Blue Outfitters. You won’t be disappointed and the experience far exceeds the cost. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip.

Operator response

Much appreciated :) see you next time!
