5 of the Best Companies for Kayaking in Sarasota
1. Liquid Blue Outfitters
We love Liquid Blue Outfitters because they’re incredibly knowledgeable and go above and beyond for the comfort of their guests. We highly recommend their Lido Key Mangrove Tunnel Tours– they really know their way around the mangroves. Their expert guides will take you on a journey through this protected area, and you’ll most likely see wildlife like dolphins, manatee, heron, and more. Their tours are geared toward all levels, and they will make sure you’re comfortable in your craft before embarking. If you’d rather paddle on your own without a guide, you can do that, too!
2. I Kayak Sarasota
I Kayak Sarasota has everything from kayak tours to kayak rentals to paddleboard lessons. You have the choice of venturing out on your own with a rental or opting to take a two-hour tour through Sarasota Bay. Either way, you’ll be treated to their outstanding customer service. They have gotten TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for seven years in a row!
3. Adventure Kayak Outfitters
Adventure Kayak Outfitters also offers kayak rentals and kayak tours. You can choose from three tours: Sarasota Kayak Tour through the mangroves, Siesta Key Kayak Tour, and an Alligator Kayak Tour in Myakka River State Park. Their local guides always get great reviews – they know all of the best spots. They’re known for keeping their tours away from crowds, plus you’re very likely to see wildlife on your tour with them.
4. Sea Life Kayak Rentals and Kayak Tours
Sea Life Kayak Rentals and Kayak Tours prides themselves on their local knowledge and great customer service. They aim to make your experience special rather than give you a cookie-cutter tour. If you’d rather tour by yourself, you can rent a kayak for the day and have your own adventure. Either way, you’ll be treated to the gorgeous sights and sounds of our Sarasota waters! They will even deliver your kayak rental to you or one of the top local launch points.
5. Happy Paddler Kayak Tours
If you couldn’t already tell from their name, Happy Paddler is all about keeping their guests happy. If you have never been kayaking or need a little refresher, their American Canoe Association certified courses will have you paddling in no time. They also offer multiple tours, kayak fishing charters, and rentals for those looking to venture out on their own.
