Book this tour! - Check in: well organized, fast and easy check in. Keep your confirmation or voucher to make it easy on everyone. Pre tour directions: were easy to understand with demonstrations and Steffan spoke loud enough for everyone to hear him. Load and unload: this group knows what they are doing. Super efficient with getting everyone in and out of the kayaks. Tour: took you through 2 mangrove tunnels. Steffan showed us some jellyfish up close. Lots of manatees to see. Loads of wildlife and area history Don’t worry if you forgot the wet bag, they have some for you. The experience was top notch from beginning to end.

Lido Key Mangrove Tb el Tour with Jacob - We did the Lifo Key Mangrove Tunnel tour. It was so fun!! We saw some sea life and learned a lot about the history of the mangroves. The tunnels were really fun and such a great experience. This trip is easy enough for most everyone to paddle. Our guide Jacob was so nice and answered all of our questions as well as taught us a little. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to everyone visiting the area!!

Great experience - Had a great tour with Stephan. So educational and a lot of fun. Went with my husband and 4 children. We were in 3 tandems. Stephan took us to the mangroves, pointed out the cuuuuuuute manatees & their footprints along the way. We saw flying fish, jellyfish (how he picked them up I don’t know! Apparently their sting isn’t that bad!)……, black crabs in the mangroves & cormorants…… we had such a fun time and you could tell how passionate Stephan was about the area and conserving it. He knew a lot about the history of its destruction, reconstruction and preservation. We learnt a lot about John Ringling and his 2 wives. Super interesting and a great end to our holiday. Thank you!

Awesome Tour! - Kinsey was an awesome guide! My sister and I would definitely book this again! Kinsey was super knowledgeable with a great sense of humor! From the blue and pink girls :))

Amazing find on TripAdvisor - It was amazing! Steffan was full of knowledge, patience, and humor. Made for a great morning and we got to see some manatees.

Knowledgeable guide! - Patrick was a very knowledgeable tour guide and did a wonderful job telling us the history and biology of the mangroves.

Another amazing experience! - This was our third time over the past years of visiting that we have kayaked with our whole family with Kayaking SRQ. Every time is different yet amazing! The scenery is beautiful, we saw manatees each time & the tour guides are so knowledgeable & personable! Would recommend every time!!

Awesome tour even for beginners - Our tour began at Lido Key. Our tour guide was Stephan. Getting in and out of the water on the kayak was easy. Our daughter had never been on a kayak before and she loved it. The tour lasted 2 hours and we started at 9 am. Good parking and easy to find. Got to see manatees and a dolphin. Would definitely recommend this activity.

Great fun and history! - Jeff, our tour guide, was phenomenal. He was a wealth of information - both on wildlife and history- and made the tour special and engaging. The tour itself was beautiful and gave us a lovely view of the area and beach. My sister in law booked this tour for her family and then strongly encouraged us to go with her a few days after her initial tour. This would be great for families, couples, friends - anyone! We absolutely will go on this tour again and request Jeff!

Neat experience - This was a very cool experience kayaking thru the mangrove tunnels. I wished we could’ve seen some manatees. We saw crabs, starfish lots of marine life. I would recommend going in morning time vs afternoon. Maybe that’s why we didn’t see any manatees cuz tide was low we in afternoon and it’s too shallow for them
