Kayak Tour through Mangrove Tunnels

Overview

Just a few minutes away from all the hustle and bustle of Sarasota is our favorite local beach, Turtle Beach. It is only a few short miles from the main Siesta Key beach to Turtle Beach and the Sarasota County trolley will drop you right there. Not only is this area such a beautiful and quiet place, it is also a great place to paddle!

We start on the intercostal and paddle down a short canal to the Bay. We paddle around the mangrove islands through a mangrove tunnel or two and alongside a bird rookery.

We paddle around the mangrove islands of Jim Neville Marine Preserve and then to a "secret" beach. This beach is only accessible by boat so we may have it to ourselves. Such a beautiful place for a quick swim or just stopping for a few moments to relax. You may want to stay here all day.

This location is home to all kinds of wildlife including manatees (when water temps are warm enough), dolphins, beautiful sea and shorebirds and lots of fish.

We were three on our first kayaking adventure. Joan was patient, informative and absolutely phenomenal! The entire experience was fabulous and the mangrove tunnels were gorgeous. We weren’t able to see any manatees doe to the Memorial Day boat traffic, but the afternoon was perfect regardless. Thank you, Joan, and we’ll definitely see you again!

Great experience! Our guide, Sawyer, was outstanding. He pointed out marine creatures & features of the landscape that made the tour even more interesting. Definitely recommend (even if you’re a novice).
