About this adventure:

Rent your kayak or paddleboard for a half-day (4 hrs) and explore the mangrove tunnels of Lido Key! Kayaking the mangrove tunnels at our Lido Key location is a must-do when visiting the islands of Sarasota Bay. This location is popular for families because it has very well maintained paddling trails that meander through well-marked trails of the mangrove forest. Paddlers can glide along the network of paddling trails through the protected mangrove forest. And because this location is near a water passage where the Bay meets the Gulf, it functions as a wildlife corridor and is a perfect place to spot marine critters, birds, dolphins, and manatees. Come check 'kayaking mangrove tunnels' off your bucket list!!

All rentals include a paddle, life vest, and a map of the popular paddling routes in the area.

Tip: Single kayaks offer more independence, where each person can really learn how to move their own kayak around. Single kayaks are best for individuals who are at least 12 years old. Tandem kayaks offer more of a team adventure, where the two people have to work together to move (a bonding experience). Inexperienced paddlers can opt to paddle a tandem kayak with a more experienced paddler. Whichever you decide, we will have you feeling very comfortable out on the water - we are well trained and have newbies out with us all the time!
