South Lido Mangrove Tunnel Tour
This is one of our most popular tours! On this two hour eco-tour you will paddle through beautiful mangrove tunnels and through the Sarasota Bay. We have found starfish in the tunnels and see many native birds as well as an occasional dolphin and manatee. We take a short break on the white sandy beach of South Lido to soak up some sun and have a drink. A must see! Beginners and Advanced paddlers alike will enjoy this trip. Cost: $50.00 per person (2 person min)
Fishing Package
This is a three hour trip ran weekly at different locations and times determined by the tides. We fish the salt water flats from Sarasota Bay south to Lemon Bay. We fish for Redfish, Snook, Trout, and can customize a Tarpon trip during the seasonal run. This trip is good for the beginner or the seasoned fisherman.
Most trips are early mornings. Cost: $75.00 per person
Vamo Paddle
Paddle around the winding mangrove islands of the bay on this 2-3 hour trip. We will paddle by historic Spanish Point where the first settlers of this area built their homes. After that we will paddle to the beach for a brief stop to get out and stretch your legs! Cost: $45.00 per person (2 person min)
