What are people saying about Sarasota

The Island Tour

Tina_M, May 2026

Loved it highly recommended

My suggestion go early. Sunscreen and a hat. Allie and Blaze were so nice and helpful and knowledgeable. The last sandbar we went to was amazing!!! Found conch shells, saw dolphins, crabs and manatees. On the way back, we got caught in a current. Someone in boat asked us if we needed a tow. Very friendly. Anybody could do this trip. Able to navigate and control the kayak . Highly recommend

Anna Maria Island Dolphin Sunset Boat Tour

Joshua_G, May 2026

So much fun!

We had a blast! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to find so many dolphins. We did a similar tour in Destin and this one was so much better! I highly recommend this tour. We got some great pictures and videos and the sunset was amazing.

Manatee Discovery Anna Maria Island

jeremy_M, May 2026

Manatee watching

We joined Ben and Jackson on the tour and they were superb guides. Both super helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate in imparted all their knowledge and love for the area and its abundant wildlife. We saw Manatee, dolphins, crabs, Conch and other interesting creatures which without going on this tour we would have been oblivious. Ben gave us a great tip on where to see further manatee and it proved to be brilliant. We all had a great time. Thanks guys. Jay, Esther, Jorge, Tom and Georgie

Sarasota - Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour

emma_f, May 2026

Amazing!

The clear kayaking experience at night in the bay was absolutely unforgettable! Paddling across the water under the night sky was so peaceful, and the clear kayaks made the whole experience even more magical. Seeing the water light up beneath us and getting a view of the bay from a completely different perspective was incredible. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable the entire time. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and memorable! I’m pretty sure our tour guide was named Josh & he was great! Very nice kid!

HydroCats - 2 Hour CraigCat Sightseeing Tour

rshemstreet, May 2026

This was a great outing. ...

This was a great outing. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. I was a bit concerned after booking the Hydro Cats since my wife and I are on the older side and my wife doesn’t really feel comfortable around water since she doesn’t swim. Turns out the boats are very stable and we both were very safe. The guides were great and extremely friendly. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Sarasota Guided Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour

Monica_C, Apr 2026

We had an incredibly...

We had an incredibly enjoyable two-hour outing with our family and kids. The scenery was beautiful—we paddled through mangroves and saw some amazing wildlife, including a dolphin and even a manatee. It was also a great way to get some exercise while still feeling relaxed and immersed in nature. I shared a tandem kayak with my 13 year old son, which made it even more fun. There were a couple of slightly tricky moments navigating the narrower mangrove tunnels, but nothing we couldn’t handle—and it added a bit of excitement to the experience. Another review mentioned not to forget the sunblock—I second this! Our guide, Kenny, really made the trip special. He was knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely enjoyable to paddle alongside. Overall, a memorable experience we’d absolutely recommend.

Mangrove Tunnel & Manatee Kayak Eco-Tour

Sarah_W, Mar 2026

Amazing and Beautiful fun!

Firstly- didn’t want to do this but fam did so I “tagged along”. SO GLAD MY GIRL ASKED TO DO THIS EXCURSION!!!!! My sincere apologies for not retaining our guides name (but he and his wife have a membership at the aquarium lol). SO MUCH FUN. Our guide was so informative and fun and laid back but professional and obviously comfortable in the waters he took us through. Including a shark tank?? Yep. Previously used for research now “hurracained”. Including a hidden beach?? Yep. SO AMAZING. Glittered with all kinds of shells and only accessible by boat or kayak or paddle board. We saw a fisherman catch a sheepshead fish (per our guide of course- I’d have NO CLUE) and our guide explained the unique dentation of this fish before the fisherman released it. Paddled through some clouds of jellyfish. Saw poisonous catfish. Shell hunted. DIDNT DIE Honestly even IF I were outdoorsy I don’t think we could’ve ever found the isolated/pristine/fascinating places our guide shared with us. GO WITH THIS EXPIDITION IF THEY HAVE AVAILABILITY!!!! BEST EXCURSION THIS LANDLUBBER HAS DONE. Never been in a kayak before. Ready to get one and Move to siesta key. Anyone got a beach tent I can use?

Natalie_M, Dec 2025

Family Fun

Highly recommend! We had a lot of fun and the service was great. From our 70 year old Nana to our 16 year old daughter we all had the best time. This is great for the whole family to experience and do together. We greatly appreciate how accommodating the crew was and the follow up email with places to eat after was a nice touch.

Sarasota Mangrove Tunnel Guided Kayak Adventure

Andrea_R, Dec 2025

Awesome kayaking Tour!

Jordan was an awesome tour guide, knowledgeable, and knows the area well. He's funny and helpful too! . We saw dolphins and ducks in the open water. The ducks swam with and under our kayaks. They were super social and sweet. Navigating The man groves was super cool . Highly recommend this tour!
