Best Tour Guide - My girlfriends, daughter and I had the absolute best time on our tour recently. Hunter was the best guide and he was so educated on all the things! He took extra time with us through the tunnel to share details about the mangroves and the creatures. He went out of his way to help us find manatee, and shared so many facts about the wildlife. My favorite part was that he gave us great recommendations for beaches and restaurants to visit. We took him up on his recommendations and had a blast. We will definitely be back! Thanks Hunter!

SUP and kayaking with SUP of Englewood - This is our second year using SUP Englewood. We did a mix of paddle boards and kayaks. The check-in process was fast and the staff were very accommodating. All your equipment will be ready to go at the starting point. We got to see lots of wild life and went through a really cool maze/tunnel where we saw lots of unique fish. We requested Jeff again as our guide, and he did not disappoint. He is very helpful, kind, and patient with newbies. He makes the day of fun experience!! We can’t wait to go again! This will always be our go to company to use. Thank you SUP of Englewood! The Kfourys

Excellent morning on the water from start to finish. - Booking was super easy. The follow-up communication, instructions and directions were great. As a result, we showed up well prepared for our tour. Our guide Danny had us ready and on the water right on time. He knew the area well and shared with us lots of info on the flora, fauna and history of the back bay in a relaxed and patient manner. We saw plenty of wildlife in just a couple hours. Most of all, Danny made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the tour. We will definitely be back.

A tandem kayaking experience with master naturalist guides to encounter wildlife and learn more about native wildlife - We discovered SUP Englewood back in 2023 when we had an incredible SUP tour at Don Pedro with Mike. Fond memories of this tour, which we encountered lots of wildlife and dolphins, we decided to book another excursion with SUP Englewood on our vacation. We went on the Eco kayaking tour at Boca Grande with Mike, Danny & Ray. Highly recommend a tour with these guys, it was an incredible experience. Danny guided us to see the wildlife and was very knowledgeable, offering up lots of great facts and local history. We were lucky enough to encounter manatee’s at multiple points on our paddle, the manatees approached us and gave us a great view. We also saw lots of native birdlife. A safety briefing prior to getting onto the water and the knowledge of our 3 guides was really reassuring for us as novice kayakers, the tour is so worth it, even if you’re experienced on the water the knowledge about the wildlife and knowing where to paddle to have wildlife encounters really makes the most of the time on the water. A very professional experience, SUP Englewood provide everything you need for the tour, kayak, paddles, life jackets, they have dry bags, bug spray and cold water at the end of the tour! Thank you SUP Englewood for a great experience we won’t forget. Hope to take another tour with you on our next vacation to Florida. Cheers.
