Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join this kayaking tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but kids as young as 6 have paddled with us successfully. We recommend that younger kids be accompanied by an adult in the same kayak for safety. It’s a great family activity!

Q: What should we wear for the kayaking tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Dress comfortably! Quick-dry clothes are best, and don’t forget your swimsuit. Also, wear water shoes if you have them; they really help with grip in the kayak. And sunscreen is a must!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather looks bad on the day of our tour?

A: Absolutely! We keep an eye on the weather and will let you know if we need to reschedule for safety. Just give us a call, and we can set you up for another day that works for you.

Just booked the kayaking tour in Sarasota Bay!

So excited! I got this as a gift for my partner’s birthday. We’ve always wanted to explore the wildlife around Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. I heard the guides are amazing and the small group size makes it feel more personal. Just wondering if anyone has tips for first-timers like us!

Amazing wildlife experience in Sarasota Bay!

I just went on this kayaking tour last weekend, and it was incredible! We saw manatees and all kinds of birds. The guides were super knowledgeable and made it fun. If you're thinking about gifting this, do it! It’s perfect for anyone who loves nature. Just be ready to paddle a bit if you’re not used to it!
