What kind of beachgoer are you? Chances are, you’ll find something in the Sarasota area that appeals to you. Soft sand, fishing piers, shells—you can find it around here. Just don’t go looking for a nude beach—that’s the one thing they don’t have.

Sea Life Kayak Adventures

Small, personalized tour groups, updated equipment including new, light, fatigue-reducing carbon fiber paddles, comfortable and easy to maneuver kayaks....And still the lowest prices guaranteed. Just a few reasons to come kayaking (tour or rental) with Sea Life Kayak. Explore exotic mangrove tunnels, paddle among manatees, dolphins and much more...With the premier kayak company in Lido, Siesta, and AMI. The owners of Sea Life Kayak Adventures come from science and conservation backgrounds and are members/volunteers of several environmental and wildlife organizations. While other companies are herding dozens of paddlers onto the water, we limit our groups to enhance the experience of our paddlers and especially the wildlife, minimizing our impact on fragile ecosystems. We use top quality, comfortable and easy to use kayaks perfect for novices or pros (most paddlers are newbies which we love), and provide instruction before we launch. Manatees, dolphins, flying rays, flying fish, cormorants (swimming with us or even riding on our boats!), And much, much more can be seen up close. We believe in tailoring our tours to our clients and having fun! Kayaking is not just our business, it's our passion. Thanks-Tom and Lauri

SUP Sarasota

Reviewed By SurfCat495 - Sarasota, United States

We originally made a reservation for the Bird Key area, but they suggested we launch over the bridge heading out towards Longboat Key. Great advice, we got to play with some dolphins in the cove over there, and the water was nice and calm which was great for my friend on her first paddling adventure. Great lesson by Juliana, who should be having her baby any minute now! Super nice people, reasonable rates and beautiful areas to see, I highly recommend this to anyone!

We waited for the warmest day todo our riding. Popcycles was recommenced (amazingly enough) by Village Bikes, in Venice). They are conveniently close to the Legacy Trail. Staff was great. Helpful & friendly and I recommend them to anyone who wants to give it a go. Great ride, though I think we over did it.
