Sarasota: Lido Key Mangrove Tunnel Kayak or Paddleboard Tour｜United States

Explore the iconic mangrove tunnels of Lido Key on this 2-hour kayak or paddleboard tour, launching from Ted Sperling Park in Sarasota Bay with local and experienced guides.

Paddle through the unique mangrove tunnel network around Lido Key in Sarasota Bay, a natural maze of winding waterways shaded by mangrove forests and rich in wildlife.

Along the way, see shorebirds, fish, crabs, and in many seasons, spot manatees or dolphins in the bay.

Your guides know these waters well and their only goal is that you have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable time on the water. Most of the guides have been paddling the Florida waters for over ten years; some for their entire lives.

They have insider knowledge of the local area and wildlife and will offer a unique glimpse into the Florida lifestyle.

This tour combines paddling with wildlife and local natural history learning. Practice safe marine mammal viewing, keeping your distance and trying not to disrupt their natural activities. If they approach you, stop paddling and just take in the experience.

This tour is entirely in saltwater and there are no alligators. See manatees, dolphins, exotic birds, and other unique animals on one of the daily paddleboard or kayak tours at the famous South Lido Nature Park, aka Lido Mangrove Tunnels and Turtle Beach, both beautiful places that highlight the diverse ecosystems of Sarasota, FL.
