Sarasota: Mangrove and Midnight Pass Beach Tour - Siesta Key｜United States

Begin your adventure at Turtle Beach on Siesta Key, where you’ll meet your guide and get equipped with a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Paddle down a short canal to the bay, where you’ll glide around the mangrove islands of Jim Neville Marine Preserve and ultimately to Midnight Pass Beach.

During the hurricanes of 2024, this pass was opened up and the water quality and the beach area changed dramatically. It looks like you are in the Caribbean. The water is so clear and there are lots of shells to be found.

Wildlife is abundant in the area, and we regularly spot manatees, dolphins, amazing birds, and more.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, this guided tour offers a peaceful escape into nature, away from the hustle and bustle of Siesta Key. Due to the strong currents that can be in the area, we recommend a guided tour if you are uncertain about the area or a beginning paddler.
