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)

Ian was great! Hilarious and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Ian was a great guide - laid back, great sense of humor, and very knowledgeable. We got to see a good amount of sea life, and Ian made a great effort to find as much as he could for us! We saw a baby and mama dolphin, which was super cool. Definitely worth the money!
We had so much fun! And our tour guide ian was very knowledgeable and he had a great sense of humor. I think everything was worth the money and i am very glad i got to experience this.
We had so much fun kayaking through the mangrove tunnels and learning about them and the wildlife in the area. We had a few little hitchhiking birds that followed us look for food we were stirring up for them in the water.
My family of 4 really enjoyed the mangrove Kayak tour. Kenny was a great guide. We also got to see some dolphins.
Great experience with our guide Kenny. Tunnels were awesome. Perfect length of tour with plenty of time to see wildlife.
Good tour, excellent tour guide, and great Kayaks. Our tour guide not only instructed us on how to kayak but also helped us steer through the mangroves. He pointed out sea creatures and gave a little history of the mangroves.
The mangroves we beautiful and our guide was fun.
Great trip, so dolphins, manatee, birds, sea turtle, fish jumping everywhere. Took two different mangrove tunnels, which was amazing. The guide was funny and knowledgeable.
First time for 3 of us and did well. Enjoyed the star fish and manatee. Going thru the tunnels were cool!
