Siesta Key Guided Eco Tour

Mike was a great guide! He had alot of knowledge that he shared and we even got to see some very rare wildlife! We are a family of 3 and did a tandom and a solo...teen and dad shared...I was on my own and had issues paddling. It was easy! Definitely worth the price! I look like a silly person in the photo! Lol

Just got back from a fantastic kayaking trip. Mike was our guide and he did a great job of making us all feel comfortable and giving us lots of info on the surroundings. Would def go again!

We had a great morning kayaking with Mike! A very knowledgeable and friendly guide with loads of interesting facts about our visit. Saw many of birds and found amazing shells.

Amazing morning kayaking with Mike. He was a brilliant guide, very friendly and knowledgeable.
Parking was free and right near the location.
We saw pelicans, osprey and their babies, and a northern cardinal.
Really great to visit the Midnight Pass and shell beach.

We had a great time with Jeff! He was an excellent guide and clearly very passionate about all things related to wildlife, kayaking, and Florida. We loved his enthusiasm and his very friendly nature. Overall, we’d highly recommend this trip for families or anyone who likes being outside and learning cool stuff off the beaten path. We learned a ton about ospreys, manatees, and Mangroves. 10/10.

My sister & I started out as intermediate kayakers. About 15 minutes into kayaking the boat became unstable and we could not balance it. We noticed the kayak taking on water. We capsized twice due to not being able to balance the kayak. We told Jeff there was something wrong with the kayak & he said we could turn back around if we wanted to. There was no way we were going to be able to make the journey so we turned around. The kayak took on so much water we capsized a third time! We were abandoned in the middle of the inlet & could not get back on the kayak without it sinking. We had to pull the kayak along side of the inlet and fortunately 2 good samaritans helped us tie up the boat to a post and helped us out of the water. In attempt to secure the kayak I received several deep cuts in my feet due to stepping on shells or some type of sharp objects on the inlet floor. I can barely walk! A Good Samaritan, named Pam, who was a local helped us through the whole ordeal. She even drove us back to kayak departure area in her own car. When we first called the company & reported major problems with the kayak they were rude. They said we were responsible for the security of the boat. Once back at the kayak departure area we inquired about a refund, received a phone number to call which we did, and still have not heard anything back from this company. I do think our experience was truly unique due to a defective kayak; however, would not recommend this place due to how the experience was handled overall by the company which was terrible. Jeff our guide was kind & apologetic but this was a total disaster for us. We are still requesting a full refund which had not been acknowledged yet.

Jeff was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We would definitely take this tour again. Thank you!

Everything was so beautiful! Our tour guide Mike from Ohio was an amazing person. He had a great personality and made everyone laugh, and really informed us on the wildlife and the ecosystems of the mangroves.

This was a fun outing the guide was excellent he was very knowledgeable, and very laid back . He made the experience very fun.

Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable and my group had a great time. Would definitely do another tour or rental if I get a chance.

The mangroves and the surrounding area is gorgeous. Our guide, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Highly recommend!

The tour was exceptional! Thank you Jeff for an amazing day with our friends. We learned a lot from you. You’re the best!!

We had a great experience. It was a beautiful way to see the wild life and the ocean in a new way. Our guide was super knowledgeable and you could tell he enjoyed his job and has a love for the water.

My partner and I booked a guided eco tour for 2:30p. The guide, Mike, was awesome and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. We had a great time making the absolute most of the two hour tour (event stopped at a private beach to collect some sea shells). Our guide was kind enough to take our photos. We can’t wait to come back for another tour with Mike!

I don’t know where to begin. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the minute you arrive until the fun ultimately has to end, you know you are in good hands. Help getting in and out of the kayak, if you need it. A briefing on how to paddle, if you need it. Any questions answered, if you have some. Jeff and Mike were amazing. Jeff has extensive knowledge about all things kayak, all things mangrove, all things manatee, all things osprey, and probably everything else related to nature in the area. I especially love and respect his desire to protect the animals and the environment. He’s warm, friendly, professional, and accommodating. We were so lucky to have him as our guide! Mike, too, couldn’t have been more helpful. He truly wanted everyone to have the best experience! I learned a lot from him, especially about some of the smaller “critters” in the water. It was a terrific experience. I can’t wait to do it again on my next trip down from Ohio. Thank you for the adventure!

Jeff and Mike were terrific guides. Both were knowledgeable of the wildlife and eco system. They were great with my 9 year old. He enjoyed the tour just as much.

Jeff and Mike were awesome tour guides. Very knowledgeable with lots of information. Great for experienced or beginner kayakers. Highly recommend!
