Overview
We are the ONLY paddling outfitter with kayak access to this spectacular area in the clear waters between Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, which means no crowds and more exclusive wildlife viewing opportunities!
Wildlife-viewing here is outstanding! Our expert naturalist guides set the gold standard for hospitality in our beautiful corner of the world and are always very respectful of any wildlife encountered on the tour.
While larger groups can easily be accommodated upon request, we always limit our tours to small groups and we are rewarded with a very relaxed and happy group of paddlers. This excursion is perfect for families, couples, groups, and individuals with any level of paddling experience. First-time paddlers are always welcome.
If you are looking for an incredibly relaxed and memorable adventure during your visit to Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, this is it!

Manatees, dolphins, birds, and a huge variety of marine life are the highlights of the Coastal Island Kayak Tour!
After making sure our group is very comfortable and ready for our relaxed adventure, we begin our tour in the very calm waters of Bishop's Bayou, directly behind our kayak shop at the meetup location. As we paddle through The Historic Longbeach Village, we will glide by beautiful homes and keep our eyes open for the birds and marine life. We'll make our way into Sarasota Bay and the spectacular, clear waters between Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. This special area is a major wildlife gathering spot where manatees, dolphins, and other marine animals make regular movements between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. We often stop at one of several beautiful spots to get out and stretch our legs. After we soak up enough "life on the coast", we'll head back to our starting location, where you can rinse, refresh, and marvel at the awesome adventure you just had!
Epic wildlife-viewing opportunities, pristine white-sand beaches, tranquil sandbars, and endless opportunities for lifelong memories await you on this award-winning tour. Come see for yourself :)
