Paradise Adventures Sarasota — Local services in Sarasota

SARASOTA'S BEST KAYAK TOUR & RENTAL COMPANY!! If you're visiting Sarasota (or if you live here!), one of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of our Sarasota Bay and all the breath-taking, tropical scenery and wildlife here is to go out on a kayak tour with Paradise Adventures. You will absolutely LOVE it!

Their guides are extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, ecology, and history of the Bay. There are lots of options! You can take tours through the famous Mangrove Tunnels, paddle to known Manatee and Dolphin areas, take a magical moonlight paddle, go out on your own, and many other options.

They'll provide all the gear you need including a dry bag for your wallet and keys, maps (if you're going out on your own), life vest, and even cold, bottled water. If you're new to kayaking, they'll show you the ropes and make sure you and your family are safe and have the time of your life.

We've been out with them many times and it never gets old. Every time is a new and special adventure. My favorites were the moonlight paddle through the Mangrove Tunnels and a sunset/moonrise paddle out to Sand Dollar Island. We've seen LOTS of Manatee, Dolphin, many beautiful birds, and all sorts of interesting critters!

No better way to...

I went yesterday (6/25/24) and we had a small group of only 5 kayaks including myself on the mangrove tour. It was my first time kayaking and I absolutely loved it! Kenny was our guide and he was awesome!!! He took us through 3 mangroves and explained the history of the mangroves, the sea life that resides there, into the bay to explore other wildlife, and spoke about the history of Sarasota Bay. It was a 2 hour tour and is totally worth every penny. Kenny did a great job giving us enough time to take in everything, took pictures for us, and he was a blast to hang out with. I think he had more fun than us, which made it even more fun! Being a local and having the chance to experience this right in my back yard was so much fun. If you get the chance to go, don't pass it up. Although it was my first time, it won't be my last. Thank you Kenney and Paradise Adventures for an amazing day on...

My daughter & I rented kayaks in August and our tour guide was Orlando. He spent several hours with us exploring the wildlife in the area. We had such a great time kayaking through the Mangrove Tunnels!!! Orlando was a terrific guide and gave us the history of the area where we were kayaking as well as lots of information about the manatees and other wildlife that we came across. He was very knowledgeable and has a great respect for the wildlife. They are such a nice outfit to rent from and a trustworthy company. When we first arrived, they both introduced themselves and shook our hands. Very polite people. They were very helpful with my concerns about being able to kayak. Their instructions were great and I had no trouble at all. We would highly...
