Overview

This is a fully private tour — no other guests join your group. That means your guide's attention, the pace, and the route are tailored entirely to you.

Families get hands-on support for kids without holding up a larger group;
Nervous or first-time paddlers can take their time without pressure;
Experienced paddlers can go further and explore deeper into the area;
You choose the craft — kayak, paddleboard, or both within your group

Owned and operated by SURFIT USA, a local company rooted in marine conservation.

The launch location is hard to beat: We meet at Ted Sperling Park on Lido Key, close to Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, and Downtown Sarasota

This tour is filled with wildlife: birds, fish, invertebrates, and the chance to spot dolphins/manatees (seasonal and conditions permitting).

Activity itinerary

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.
