Sarasota Mangrove and Hidden Beach Kayak Tour

From $55

Turtle Beach is a great place to paddle! We start on the intercostal and paddle down a short canal to the Bay. We paddle around the mangrove islands of Jim Neville Marine Preserve and then through a few mangrove tunnels to a “secret” beach.  This beach is only accessible by boat so we may have it to ourselves.  Such a beautiful place for a quick swim or just stopping for a few moments to relax.

Paddle Siesta Key! Away from all the hustle and bustle of Siesta Key, is our favorite local beach, Turtle Beach.

From our launch, you can paddle down the intercoastal, around acres of mangrove islands.  Take the kayaks and ashore at Midnight Pass and spend time exploring the beach.  This is a great place to look for shells, take a dip in the ocean or just relax.  With our rentals, you have plenty of time.

 

 


More Ways to Get on the Water

Aloha!

As transplants from Hawaii, we have decades of experience on the water and are happy to bring that knowledge and experience to our current home in beautiful Sarasota, Florida.  We love sharing this beautiful coastline from the water.  From paddling the mangrove tunnels of Lido Key to exploring the clear waters of Midnight Pass, everyday on the water offers something new–manatees, dolphins, shelling, and unforgettable views.  For those looking to go further, SURFIT Adventures takes our passion for paddling and outdoor exploration beyond Sarasota–offering curated destination trips and extended experiences for adventurous explorers.  We hope you join us!

Best experience on our vacationWe had never done SUP and Aaron was an amazing instructor. He helped and encouraged my kids ages 7-10 throughout the entire tour. We saw dolphins, a manatee, and crabs! We also took my mother who had never been kayaking and was quite nervous. Aaron was great with her, helping her throughout as well. Aaron gave us an amazing experience we will all never forget!

Awesome tour Fabulous paddle in the Mangroves and the bay. We’ve done several paddles around Florida and this was the best. Aaron was a great guide, pointing out wildlife and his knowledge led to a great dolphin encounter. Was a fantastic experience.

Phenomenal Paddle Board Experience with SurfIt (Aaron) in Sarasota! Had a wonderfully time paddle boarding with Surf It and had a very knowledgeable guide Aaron whom ensured not only our safety but of course our enjoyment as well! Will definitely be back to this beautiful city with its pristine beaches and to enjoy the water with Surf It!

A must do in SRQ. Surfit is the best! Great boards, great prices, great people! Very helpful if you have never paddle boarded before. Of course now we want to buy paddle boards and do it all the time!! It's definitely addictive and a nice healthy way to spend time with family.

Lido mangrove paddle Four of us went out with Aaron on a guided tour. We have been with him a few times and it is always a wonderful experience. We took family with us that had never paddled before, and he was great with them. Highly recommend Surfit!
