Not much to see

It was called a dolphin and manatee tour but there were no dolphins or manatees. The tour guide100A+

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear your tour guide provided an A+ experience. While our tours offer the opportunity to see dolphins and manatees in their natural habitat, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed since they are wild animals. Every trip on the water is different and our tour guides work very hard on providing an informative and enjoyable tour getting to explore the clear waterways and mangroves of beautiful Florida even when the local wildlife are a little quieter that day, so were glad to hear your tour guide was able to provide that experience for you!

Scam scam scam

They did not have a tour. And I have not received a refund. I’m pretty upset about the whole thing. Please refund my money.

Best kayak and paddle board dolphin tour ever!

I booked this tour with my girlfriend while visiting Sarasota and it was worth every penny. We kayaked right next to some dolphins and we saw a huge sea turtle swim right next to us! The tourguide was very professional and informative and he gave us tons of wildlife facts. My girlfriend was on a kayak and she also had a great time. This was our first time booking with this company and it will not be the last. This operation was first class and way better than other kayak tours we have taken in the past!

Best part of our trip to Lido Key was the dolphin and manatee tour!

We had sooo much fun!! My wife and I wanted to show our kids some of the real outdoors while on our vacation to Lido Key. It was amazing because we saw dolphins swim right up to our kayaks and we saw two manatees passing by in the clear water. Our tourguide Daniel was very informative and patient with the kids. Our kids had so much fun that we bought a Three Brothers paddle board and had it shipped back to our home. Amazing kayak and paddle board tour in the Sarasota area!

The highlight was the upclose encounter with the manatees. They swam right up to us!! we will definitely be coming back to do this again with friends. if you are visiting sarasota this is the best kayaking or paddle boarding we’ve ever done!!

This was the best part of our entire trip! A must-do if you’re anywhere in the area.

We were visiting Sarasota on vacation and looking for something fun to do in the area that was an outdoor activity. This tour was absolutely amazing. The water was crystal clear, we saw tons of dolphins, manatees, and all types of other wildlife. We had never tried paddle boards before, and it was surprisingly easy and the equipment we used was very high-end, some of us used kayaks, but I really enjoyed the paddleboard. The tourguide, Daniel, was amazing, he told us a million interesting facts about all the wildlife and the history of the area. If you are anywhere in the area of Sarasota, this is a must do experience!
