Siesta Key Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals (Mangroves & Manatees) in Sarasota

Sarasota , Florida

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (11 reviews)
Free Cancellation

From $ 50.00

Duration: 2 hours (approx.)

What makes this experience unique is where you get to paddle — the Jim Neville Marine Preserve and out toward Midnight Pass, one of Siesta Key’s most beautiful natural areas. With a self-guided kayak or paddleboard rental, you’re not locked into a tour schedule, so you can truly take your time and soak it all in. Some guests love lingering in the mangroves, gliding through calm water and exploring little side areas. Others want more time posted up at the beach shelling, swimming, or just relaxing in the sun. The best part is: it’s completely up to you. This area is also a favorite for wildlife watching. Keep your eyes open for dolphins cruising through, manatees (seasonal), and plenty of bird life along the shoreline and mangroves. We’ll have your gear ready to go and provide a map plus local tips so you can choose the best route for the day’s conditions and the kind of adventure you’re looking for. Dry bag loans for valuables are often available (when available).
