Overview

The Sarasota Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour with Local Guide lasts about two hours on the water, with some flexibility to extend by an additional half hour if needed. The tour starts at Ted Sperling Nature Park, located at 190 Taft Drive in Sarasota, which provides clean restrooms, a rinsing shower, and shaded picnic tables. Participants meet 30 minutes before the tour begins for check-in and preparation. The tour follows a route through Little Sarasota Bay, where paddlers may see manatees, dolphins, and various birds. The final part of the tour passes through the mangrove tunnels of Lido Key, where the waterways are covered by a natural canopy formed by mangrove trees. The launch site is a short drive from downtown Sarasota, about 20 minutes from Siesta Key, and roughly 30 minutes from Anna Maria Island and Bradenton, though travel times may vary with traffic. The tour includes a USCG-approved life jacket, a lightweight carbon fiber paddle, and guidance from professional local guides. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Gratuities are not included.
