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 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

Kelly took my husband, myself and two children around the beautiful waters Florida and through the mangrove. It was a highlight of our stay in Florida! Kelly did a fantastic job of showing us the underwater creatures and the wildlife around. He made sure we were all safe and happy. Will be going back in a few months with some... More

Went for a tour this morning with Tom. It was amazing! I've lived here for 7 years and have only been out kayaking a few times. Tom made the trip memorable! Only a few of us went out (6 total) which was perfect. Other tours try to cram in as many people as possible to get the most money possible,... More
