What are people saying about Sarasota

Sarasota - Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour

Trisha_S, June 2026

My family was not in the...

My family was not in the mood to do anything the day I had booked but we went anyway and everyone was glad we did! We had 6 kids with us- 18 year olds down to our 3 year old and everyone had a good time. Cory was very personable, really easy going personality, and full of knowledge. It was so funny watching the kids trying to figure out how to paddle together and the scenery was amazing especially when the sun went down. I’d definitely book again.

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

Anna Maria Island Dolphin Sightseeing Adventure

Laura_B, May 2026

Dolphin watching and more

The boat company was very efficient and welcoming. Boat captain & crew were very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. We saw dolphins swimming, jumping and playing. Learned about some dolphin habits and instincts. We went birding and enjoyed the entire trip.

Siesta Key, FL - Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour

Marilyse_R, May 2026

This was one of my...

This was one of my absolute favorite parts of visiting Sarasota. The Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour was such a beautiful experience, especially being out on the water at sunset and then seeing everything light up at night. It was peaceful, unique, and such a memorable way to experience Siesta Key. The tour guides, Matt and Corbin, were amazing. You could tell they both genuinely love what they do and really care about making sure everyone has a great experience. This was my first time kayaking, and I was also doing the tour solo, so I was definitely a little nervous at first. Corbin was especially patient and kind. When I was having trouble turning around and keeping up with the group, they calmly helped by attaching my kayak and towing me along so I could relax and enjoy the experience instead of feeling stressed or embarrassed. They made me feel completely comfortable and supported, which meant so much as a first-time kayaker and solo traveler. Because of their patience and encouragement, I was able to fully enjoy what turned out to be one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of my trip. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarasota — especially if you’ve never kayaked before. Don’t let that stop you. You’ll be in great hands with Matt and Corbin.

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

Jennifer_C, Apr 2026

Good guide, even better scenery

Our guide was very good, minded our safety and very informative. Jo-on ( not sure how to spell his name). We didn't see manatees or dolphins on that particular morning, but that is nature. The weather and scenery more than made up for it. Leisurely pace, good for generally decent fitness.

Clear Kayak Glass Bottom Day Tour - Anna Maria Island

Dawn_H, Apr 2026

Clear glass kayak yltour

Matt was a very good! He made sure everyone was safe. We had a total of 6 of us . One was a 11 year old. And one a 13 year old. So I just wanted to say thank you to Matt! We appreciate all the information you gave us about sea life. Would recommend you to friends and family!

Anna Maria Island - Clear Kayak LED Night Glass Bottom Tour

Judyann_W, Mar 2026

Nighttime adventure

It helps if you have been kayaking before. Not to worry, though, because, if you are struggling, one kid the guides gives instructions and tows you until you get it right. Oh, you will get wet. My pants and windbreaker were soaked, but the sunset view and the experience of being out in the evening and looking for marine life was unique.

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?

Parasailing Adventure In Bradenton Beach & Anna Maria Island, FL

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!
