Top Sarasota Kayaking Tours

My husband and I were the only 2 out for the tour. We really enjoyed our time and our guide jo an. Got to see lots of manatees and literally almost ended up in the water with them as my husband accidentally touched one in the head with the paddle and almost knocked us over lol

We had a great time with Caulin as our guide. He was helpful and patient with our lack of kayaking skills. He was very informative about the area and wildlife. The sunset was absolutely stunning. The only negative was locating were to meet, but it was quickly solved with a return phone call. Would definitely do again.

We did this adventure the evening of the 17th. We were originally scheduled for the Sarasota location at 9:30 but due to weather we were moved to the Siesta Key launch site. Communication and directions were fantastic and made it very easy to navigate to the proper place. On arrival our guides, Travis and John were friendly and helpful, getting us acquainted with the trip and the equipment. We launched right on time and it was a new experience setting out in a small craft on a large body of water in the dark. But so exciting! The tide wasn’t cooperating very well and we hit a few unexpected sandbars but that just added to the fun. Being over 100 yards off shore and climbing out of the kayak into water just over your ankles is very interesting, to say the least. Travis and John were fantastic guides and kept up a steady stream of information about the area and potential sightings. We would definitely love to take the trip again with these two. We kept having small needle fish jump in the boat with us (a real adventure to get them out!) and on the return trip I was “assaulted” by a large mullet jumping out of the water, hitting my arm, and ending up in the back of the kayak. Travis had a real time getting that one caught and released! This is an adventure that we would definitely repeat when we return to the area. Thanks Travis and John for a memorable trip.
