I'm an experienced and passionate kayaker and I truly believe we live in PARADISE. I am a Florida Master Naturalist for Coastal Systems. I've been paddling the waters of Sarasota Bay and the Lido Key Mangrove tunnels almost every single day for years. I have an intimate knowledge of the wildlife that live in these waters, and I know the places where we might get the best wildlife viewings.
Where you'll be
We will start in the open waters of Sarasota Bay trying to spot some of the larger wildlife. Then we will stop at Sharker's Island or another one of the awesome sandbars along the way for a quick break. Then we will go into the Lido Key Mangrove tunnels, only accessible via kayak, paddle board, or canoe.

Amazing experience! We had Chris as a tour guide which was even better since he also grew up North in one of the cold states like me. Chris was very knowledgeable and included many fun facts. He also gave me suggestions on where and what to do around town since I asked. He took amazing photos of us. We couldn’t ask for a better tour! Thanks Chris!
