Top Florida Kayaking Tours - page 3

My 3 friends and I had a great time seeing manatees, dolphins, finding sand dollars and crabs on the sandbar, and enjoying the views of the Bay. Tour guides were local and had great personalities. We kayaked 3 miles, so be prepared for a great arm workout! Made for a great memory on our Anna Maria girls’ trip!

Fun activity! Our third time - we love bringing visitors on this trip! Easy to kayak through the tunnels. Our guide Ian pointed out birds and found creatures in the water for us to look at. He also took lots of pictures to share at the end of the tour. Highly recommend!

Even though we didn’t get to see a lot of glowing marine life during our tour, the experience was still very enjoyable. We were lucky to spot a few glowing jellyfish, which was really cool to see up close. Jorge and Jessica were fantastic guides—very patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the ecosystem. They took the time to explain the bioluminescence and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable kayaking at night. Overall, it was a fun and memorable family experience, and we appreciated how well the guides handled the tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique nighttime adventure.

We have only kayaked a couple of times previously but this was an enjoyable experience and a good physical workout. It includes some open water rowing but also some interesting maneuvering through mangrove trees. We saw dolphins and a variety of birds but no manatee. Our guide gave kayaking instructions before we got into our kayak. She seemed quite knowledgeable about the area but spoke in an “indoor” voice which was hard for us to hear. But it. Is a nature preserve so one doesn’t want to disturb the wild life with loud noise I guess,

We needed an activity to do after a cruise since we had 12 hours until our flight home. This was a relaxing way to spend the day before going home. The peacocks and flamingos were beautiful. There were also other animals such as gators, iguanas, turtles, owls, eagles and otters. We rode the tram to the back to see the botanical garden and the butterfly conservatory. Also toured the Wray Home Museum. It is great that they are a wildlife sanctuary.

If you go on vacation to Saint Pet and want to have the best and more exiting parasailing experience you have to schedule with Eagle Parasailing. They are simply the best. Office Staff wonderful. And your crew members Ike and Chad are the best. They definitely make you feel safe, and comfortable at all times. And if you want to make flight even better ask them for a splash you will enjoy it so much. Thank you guys for making this the best experience. You are the best. I will definitely come back and recommend Eagle parasailing 100%.

Paddles Outdoor Rentals is upfront about everything you should prepare for. Make sure to read the information prior to arrival and you will have a smooth experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the short kayaking experience and swimming in the springs. The water was crystal clear. Cyrpris was a very accommodating guide.

I love that you get reminders about your excursions. Tommy called about a glitch with a sick employee before we left to start and explained we’d begin a half hr later but that was fine with us- 9:30 start. Ben stepped up and was our guide. Super Nice, Very Knowledgeable, and there to meet your interests! We wanted to find sand dollars. We enjoyed seeing manatees and going to an island to shell hunt. No dolphins this trip, but normally they are in the areas we ventured. We enjoyed snorkeling to see the huge snails and even found a big crab friend! The last thing we did was go to an area where we found tons of live sand dollars! It was a good workout to paddle to all these areas so be prepared for that. I’m 61 and took pain reliever before bed and feel fine this morning. Suggesting thick sun screen to soak in before you leave your place and wash your hands so you have grip for your paddle. We had 6 going to include my daughter and her 4 kids ages 6-12. The two older boys did fine together and then we helped the two littles. Hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we did!! Thanks Again Tommy and Ben!! 🫶
