The owners of Sea Life Kayak Adventures come from science and conservation backgrounds and are members/volunteers of several environmental and wildlife organizations. While other companies are herding dozens of paddlers onto the water, we limit our groups to enhance the experience of our paddlers and especially the wildlife, minimizing our impact on fragile ecosystems. We use top quality, comfortable and easy to use kayaks perfect for novices or pros (most paddlers are newbies which we love), and provide instruction before we launch. Manatees, dolphins, flying rays, flying fish, cormorants (swimming with us or even riding on our boats!), and much, much more can be seen up close. We believe in tailoring our tours to our clients and having fun! Both tours and rentals are guaranteed to be the lowest price. Thanks-Tom and Lauri « less

We had originally planned to go out on Friday but Tom was worried about the wind and rough water so we opted for Sunday at Lido. We really appreciated him steering us toward the better day! We went out with Kelly who is fun and funny and he spotted two different pods of manatees that we never would have seen... More

We struggled with the weather for a few days but finally managed to meet up with Tom for a kayak tour. We were so glad we did, it was a real treat to see an area we had not explored before. Tom was interesting and gave us lots of information about the environment and the animals and sealife around there.... More

Extravagant kayak adventure for memorial day! The mangrove tunnels are absolutely astonishing. The kayaks were in the best condition out of the other kayak rental companies in the area, very comfortable too. Tom was very friendly and informative with which route to go on. Definitely going again soon. Its a perfect location and activity for a date, bonding with friends... More

We had a wonderful paddle at Lido Key. The morning was calm and the sea life was abundant. Tom was great telling us about the area, and pointing out the plants and animals. We so enjoyed the mangrove tunnels, cormorants, sea cucumber, dolphin and manatee. What an adventure!

What a wonderful day kayaking the Lido Key Mangrove tunnels. This was the best experience I have had ever with renting a kayak. Tom was so friendly and helpful and the rates were the best in town. The kayaks were in excellent condition. I kayak several times a year and will not rent from anyone else. Thank you Tom! You... More

This was by far the best kayak trip we have ever taken. Kelly, our guide, led us on such a wonderful adventure. He had us going through Mangrove tunnels which is something I've never experienced before. He was very knowledgeable about sea life and birds. I hung on his every word. We stay in Siesta Key every Spring and this... More

First of all, everyone knows how beautiful Sarasota is and how lucky those of us that call this our home are to live here, but we don't always take advantage of all it has to offer. Today we did, because we had company in town from overseas. We took a guided kayak tour with the owner of sea life kayak... More

My family, along with three other families were staying in Siesta Key FL for spring break and were looking for an adventure for the kids as well as the adults and decided that a kayak tour of the mangrove tunnels sounded like fun. After booking with another company our trip had to be cancelled due to weather and was rescheduled... More

Had a great tour with Kelly as our guide. Due to my oversight, we were a bit late, but Tom called to say they'd wait for us. We did manage to get there just after most of our group of 11 were in the water. I was impressed that they called and were willing to wait. The tour was very... More
