- Kayaking SRQ - Discover the enchanting mangrove tunnels of Lido Key at your leisure on a completely private eco tour, with a guide dedicated solely to you and your group.
Starting from Ted Sperling Park at South Lido Key, navigate through the serene mangrove tunnels and expansive bay waters, keeping an eye out for manatees, dolphins, wading birds, sea turtles, and rays. Your guide, a knowledgeable naturalist, will explain the estuary’s ecology, highlight wildlife you might otherwise miss, and tailor the route and pace to your group’s preferences — whether that’s more educational insights, wildlife viewing, swimming, or covering more distance.
Opt for kayaks, paddleboards, or a combination of both. This tour is designed to suit your group, whether you’re a family with children needing extra assistance, a novice paddler getting started, or an experienced paddler eager to explore further, without being restricted by a set itinerary.
