Siesta Key Kayak Tour

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, dolphins, beautiful sea and shorebirds and lots of fish.

We are a family of 4 adults looking to explore Siesta Key. Tim was friendly and informative. He knows a lot about the area history, the mangrove and its wildlife . This laid back SUP tour was the pace of island life that we were looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable, educational and fun kayak excusion. John was a great guide and extremely personable. Spent time with a mother manatee and her baby - very cool. Kayaked through neated mangrove tunnels and spent copious amount of time at secluded beach. Was tired in a good way at the end. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time on our kayak tour. The water was beautiful and we really enjoyed the peace and calm of the water and beautiful scenery. Our kids loved the private beach and we all enjoyed swimming to cool off. John was our tour guide and was so kind and shared a lot of information about Siesta Key and the nature and habitat of the area. This was a great way yo spend an afternoon! Highly recommend!
