Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the kayak part? Any advice on footwear?

A: Definitely wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting wet! Quick-dry shorts or leggings are perfect. As for footwear, water shoes or sandals that can get wet are great. Flip-flops might not be the best since you’ll be getting in and out of the kayak, and you don’t want to lose them in the water!

Q: Is there any age limit for this experience? I want to take my kids!

A: Kids are definitely welcome! Just keep in mind that younger kids may need to sit in the middle of the kayak. The guides are great with families and can help ensure everyone has a fun time. I’d say ages 5 and up would work well, but double-check with the provider when booking to be sure!

Q: What happens if the weather turns bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather's bad, the company will typically reach out to you to reschedule. Safety is their priority, so if it’s not safe to kayak, they won’t go out. Make sure to check their cancellation policy, but in most cases, they’re pretty flexible about changing dates.

Just did the Sarasota Paddle & Taste Tour - Amazing day!

I just got back from the Sarasota Paddle & Taste tour and wow, it was such a great experience! The kayaking at Lido Key was so peaceful, and our guide was super knowledgeable about the area. Afterward, we hit some local food spots and tried everything from fresh seafood to dessert! I’d totally recommend this for anyone visiting Sarasota or even locals looking for a fun day out. 😍

Thinking of gifting the Paddle & Taste tour - any recommendations?

I’m considering this tour as a gift for my sister’s birthday. She loves kayaking and trying new food. Has anyone done this? Any tips on making it a special day? Also, is there a good spot to take photos during the kayak tour?
