Top Sarasota Kayaking Tours

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!

This food tour was amazing! The food was such high quality. The guide was informative and fun. Her knowledge of the city and the businesses was top notch. It was our 45th anniversary and at the last stop she surprised us with a couple of desserts. What an extraordinary treat. I highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely loved this experience! Matt was super knowledgeable and fun! The places we went were so beautiful with lots of shells and shark teeth to find! Also saw a super cool sooty sea slug I think it was called. Highly recommend this place and this tour!! Had an amazing time

Booking through third parties can mess things up. 3rd parties don’t communicate well so make sure you call the company with any questions. Or just book directly through the kayaking company. We needed to reschedule our kayaking day and the kayaking company never got that information but they were willing to help us reschedule. Michael took us out and he made sure we saw all the good spots and helped us find shark teeth. It’s march so we did not see any manatee or dolphins or turtles

Wear clothes that can get wet , maybe long sleeve shirt and water shoes/ sandals. Our guide was very good, funny& informative. We had a large group, 20 people and he was good at being in front middle and back so he could talk to everyone. Good length of trip

“Absolutely loved this sunset bike tour! The guides were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole ride fun. The views were stunning the entire way, especially as the sun went down. A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend!”

You finished the Trolley tour feeling like you knew all the important historical and current points of interest. The narrator, John was having fun telling you about the key people who made Sarasota happen. You can not fake the enthusiasm shown in his voice, nor in the sparkle in his eyes as he informed you about all things Sarasota, and doing it in a very entertaining way. We now know the where, when, and why of what made Sarasota one of the fastest rowing communities in the country. John pointed out the Best restaurants, Beaches, museums, theaters, and attractions, along with his tips on getting the best out of a Sarasota stay. How good is the Trolley Tour? One of our passengers was making a repeat tour, and a Alabama lady was taking her third tour in 7 years, and we all know customers do NOT return if they had a bad experience in the past. Simply the BEST!!!!

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!! 🫶
