With Andrew as our guide we explored Annamaria sound and the mangroves. He was knowledgeable and entertaining and our group (two couples) had a great time on kayaks and paddle boards. Highly recommend this trip if you’re in the area — beautiful, amazing to be in the mangroves and see the birds and wildlife!

Our family booked a guided kayaking tour and even though we are novice kayakers we had a great time. Andrew, our guide took the time to explain the basics of kayaking and was an informative guide through the mangroves. We really enjoyed this tour (even my husband who was very doubtful at the start) and highly recommend it.

Awesome first time paddle board experience with Andrew. He paid extra attention to our 11 yo who was fearful and she was able to conquer her fear!
He found starfish and crabs to show us, took great pictures of us that he put in Facebook for free. Overall great experience!
Kind of difficult to find. Going toward Anna Maria island it’s on the right, just before you cross the bridge. You’ll see a truck with paddle boards on the back.

Great time! Mom, dad, teen daughter paddle boarded and grandparents shared a 2-person kayak. We had a great time. Paddling through the mangroves is an amazing experience. And Andrew did a great job teaching us how to use the paddeboards and we were able to do it, first time, for all of us. Highly recommend. This is just barely over the bridge from Anna Maria so a fantastic location!

My family rented 6 kayaks while staying on Longboat Key. The kayaks were delivered by 8:30 AM so we could enjoy them for the entire day. The kayaks were picked up the next day also around 8:30 AM. We rented both tandems and single kayaks. We had a wonderful time paddling the Gulf. Thank you for the great service!

Kayaking with Captain Rick was great! There were only 3 of us, which made it even better- much more personal. Rick shared his vast knowledge of the ecosystem as we kayaked through the peaceful mangroves. It was a cooler day, but nice and warm inside the protected area. Will definitely do this again! Thanks, Rick!!

Our guide Andrew was awesome. He was keeping an eye on the tide the morning of our tour, called us to let us know we should delay for a half hour until the tide changed a bit. He was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of information we didn’t expect. Very personable and answered any and all questions. To top it off we were escorted back by a male dolphin. Highly recommend this kayak tour if visiting the area.

We took the guided kayak tour with our entire family ages ranging from 9 to 75. Everyone had a great experience! It was so unique to kayak through the mangrove tunnels and Andrew and Garrison were awesome at pointing out wildlife and telling us about the area. My 11 year old said 'we should do this more often'. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful trip yesterday!!!! Andrew and Garrison were so knowledgeable about the wildlife and the local area. It was a windy day yesterday and I was struggling to paddle back on my paddle board. Andrew stayed with me and gave me tips on paddling and things to do to help my paddling to be more efficient. We saw a bunch of non stinging jelly fish, several shells, crabs, and 300 year old mangroves. It was a great day. Book now!!

Hi! Was thinking about booking this for my family. I have a 2 year old...would a 2 person kayak be appropriate for him and I or should we stay home and let hubs take the big kids?
Written June 20, 2020
If your 2 year old is not a kinetic type of child and wears a PFD it would be fine. If not, leave him home.

Pricing? April 7 or 8. My b-day is April 9, so it'll be my gift to myself. (Last yr was parasailing.)😊

Hi.... Is the paddle boarding location on clear turquoise waters?
Written July 15, 2016
I agree with the first answer. We met our instructor on the Bradenton side of the Manatee Bridge for our lesson. Went under the bridge , across the bay and through the mangroves. Fish swimming around us most of the time. If you are experienced and hire a board on the gulf beach side of Anna Maria I the water is turquoise there on a sunny day.
