Explore Lido Key's mangrove tunnels at your own pace on a fully private eco tour, with a guide focused entirely on you and your party.
Launching from Ted Sperling Park at South Lido Key, you'll wind through shaded mangrove tunnels and open bay waters, watching for manatees, dolphins, wading birds, sea turtles, and rays along the way. Your guide is a trained naturalist who'll share the ecology of the estuary, point out wildlife you'd otherwise paddle past, and adjust the route and pace to what your group wants most — more learning, more wildlife spotting, more swimming, or more distance.
Choose kayaks, paddleboards, or a mix of both. Whether you're a family with kids who need extra guidance, a first-time paddler easing in, or an experienced paddler ready to go further, this tour is built around your group — not a fixed itinerary.
