Private Mangrove Tunnel & Manatee Kayak Tour — Lido Key

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).
