We had an amazing, informative, and funny tour with Steffon. He was a delight and you could tell he took immense pride in what he called his dream job. We would definitely recommend this tour (and Steffon) to anyone wanting to explore the mangroves and nature of Sarasota Bay.

This was an excellent kayak tour.
The tour guide Justin was great and informative. I was disappointed that the tour ended early at 1.5 hours. It was advertised at 2 hours in length. The tour ended early because wake zone entrance #4 was closed due to a low tide. Other than that it was a worthwhile experience.

Great experience! Steffan was a great guide- he was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to! Easy paddle the whole family can do!

Great trip on the kayak with Stefan as our guide. We saw some fantastic wildlife and learnt lots about Sarasota and the keys from Stefan. I would thoroughly recommend!

6 of us, rented the Three hour self guided, since we have been here before, but new Kayak company. They called and texted us to revise launch time due to Low tide. That was great, and it was really still low tide when we launched. Our kayaks were brought to water edge, gave a safety briefing and general information on area and a map of the Mangrove tunnels (#1 to 4).
Tunnel / course #4 was barely passable due to low tide, along with #2.
#3 is probably always the deepest and widest if you have Novice paddlers!
Go past the stored Kayaks and park there, instead of way at entrance. Bathroom on site was clean. Check in was easy. Launch and return was assisted by the staff.
Bring sunscreen & drinks. Minimal bugs even in the Mangroves. Saw many fish and fiddler crabs. Mant different birds, also. If possible, avoid low tides!
