Bérbeadó nyaralók itt: Siesta Key

A smiling face will greet you as soon as you arrive at our launch site. We will provide you with ice cold drinking water, a waterproof bag to protect your cellphone, keys, wallet, etc. We'll walk down to the kayak launch area and go over all safety precautions including proper use of your life jacket & provide a detailed paddle lesson. Once we are ready to paddle, we will embark on a two hour kayak adventure exploring beautiful Sarasota Bay and the world famous Lido Key mangrove tunnels. I'll tell you all about the interesting history of our beautiful bay as well as talk to you about the incredible flora and fauna we encounter! If we are lucky, we may even be visited be amazing dolphins and gentle manatees. Then, we will journey through Lido Key's spectacular mangrove tunnels while we learn of their importance to our coastal ecosystem. Once our tour is over, we will send you on your way with memories that will last a lifetime. Important note: I will message you immediately after you book to get your preference on single kayaks or tandems. If I get no response, we will default to all tandems if your group is even numbered, or all tandems and a single if its odd numbered. Other things to note My kayak tour is fun and safe for all ages and skill levels! If your desired date & time is not available, do not hesitate to find us at www.paradiseadventuresfl.com or by calling (941) 275-2971!

You'll trek to a secluded beach spot (weather permitting) near Siesta Key (voted USA's #1 Beach!) This spot is very peaceful and never crowded! It is narrow, shelly, and pristine with otherworldly tide pools. To get there, a little adventurousness is required: you'll have to walk on a (short, firm) concrete seawall, then wade through shallow water (usually waist-deep, depending on the tide). You'll have plenty of time to bathe in the calm, pool-like ocean, walk over semi-submersed mossy rocks in the sea, find some of the most beautiful shells, and (if you're a little luckier) spot families of dolphins or manatees gliding by! You will have the option to either join a tranquil, unassuming 15-minute Mindfulness Meditation session with an open powwow at the end (plus stretching), or just keep exploring the picturesque area. The tide pools provide a great place of exploration for kids and nature lovers, with spectacular micro and macro marine life! The celestial tide pools are visible during low tide, with rocks that are flat, smooth, and a bit slippery; water sandals with good grip are highly recommended. Other things to note: This experience only happens around low tide times, so start times will vary: no earlier than 8:30am and no later than 90 min. before sunset. It's a water hike, you'll get soaking wet! You may also want to bring a beach towel to relax.

After a thorough tutorial and fitting of the bikes we'll make our way immediately out onto the #1 beach in the country. We ride to the Southern-most point, Crescent Beach and Point of Rocks. We share a bit about the area then continue on, making our way all the way to the Northern-most point of the Key, Sunset Point. There is a local gentleman that puts on a flag lowering ceremony complete with Taps on the bugle each night as the sun sets, we stick around to observe this then ride the entire length of the beach back to our starting point. We take plenty of photos throughout and send them at the end so you are sure to have plenty of mementos to remember our adventure! Other things to note Although no special clothes or shoes are necessary to ride, I do recommend wearing something comfortable as we will be on the bikes the entirety of the tour.

You will meet your guides at Ted Sperling Park, the launch site for the famous Lido Mangrove Tunnels. After a short explanation of the equipment and the paddle, we will launch and practice our skills in a beautiful, shallow bay. Guides will be on hand to ensure that you feel comfortable. Their goal is safety and fun. Depending on weather conditions, we may paddle to the channel, which is lined with beautiful mansions. Although the houses are fun to look at, our real goal is to find manatees and dolphins. If we do come across them, we will keep our distance and watch them play and frolic. Occasionally, manatees will be curious and will swim up to us. It is such a special experience. Next up, we will head to the mangrove tunnels. We may take a short break at a private beach to stretch our legs before we head into the maze of mangrove tunnels. Your guide will help you navigate the tunnels, pointing out interesting information about the ecosystem and the animals in it. After paddling though the tunnels and to the hidden lagoon, we will head back to the launch. Other things to note Once you create your booking, we will message you to confirm details for your group. We can also provide kayaks. If the time doesn't work for you, check with us at info@surfitusa.com
