Fun Time Kayaking! - My boyfriend and I did the Don Pedro Island kayak Trip while here on vacation. It was amazing! We loved every moment of it. The tour guide was amazing and it was so peaceful! We got to see some manatees and a dolphin too! I definitely recommend the morning time slot- not as hot during the Florida summer months! Loved it!! 10/10.

Great experience - Our experience was wonderful. Nicole does a fantastic job teaching you how to safely and effectively use the paddle boards. We were able to see dolphins and manatees during our tour, which was more than we anticipated. This was our 2nd time doing a tour with this company & will definitely book another next time we come down to Florida!

A must do!!! - I can’t say enough great things about our guided tour. Our guide was extremely informative on the local wildlife, and ecosystem. While on our tour we saw dolphins, manatees, jellyfish, tarpon, and stingray. He took us back into the mangroves and explained the history of the Native American mounds. I was a first time kayaker and was able to keep up. For those who are worried about being in “deep” water in most places your only in 3-4 feet of water. I am so glad to have taken this tour!!!!!!!

Top Notch SUP Englewood Kayak/Paddleboard - Jeff Gillette, instructor & Kayak Guide, was extremely patient, knowledgeable and was very interesting, keeping my attention. He worked hard to make sure I could see as much wildlife as possible, and telling interesting facts. A Manatee came up right by us, amazing! I was also impressed with the man that checked me in. He made it a smooth, easy process. This is a very professional business that strives to assure its clients a great experience.

Fantastic day kayaking with SUP Englewood - Dolphins and Mantee's were out to greet us for our day on the water kayaking with SUP Englewood. I brought a group of 9 out to explore the beautiful waters in Don Pedro State Park and it was so beautiful. Nicole and her team are awesome. Even if you are new to kayaking, you will be well taken care of and shown what to do so you have a great experience.

Wonderful 2 hour adventure - Everything was a breeze from booking to our kayak tour adventure. Nicole answered our pre-trip questions on the phone. Danny was a fantastic guide! He made sure everyone was comfortable and safe the entire tour while sharing his knowledge of the wildlife we encountered. The pace was right for everyone of all ages and abilities. The mangrove tunnel was fun, but seeing the manatees “frolicking” was the highlight of our tour. We saw ospreys, dolphins, upside down jelly fish, mangrove crabs and more! SUP Englewood is a top-notch kayak tour company.
