Itinerary

The tour begins as we paddle through a beautiful canal before entering a shallow harbor surrounded by mangrove shorelines. Along the way, you'll glide over seagrass flats where marine life thrives, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the water below while exploring scenic coastal habitats that surround you.

During the tour, you'll have the chance to feed local fish with our unique blend of fish food, creating exciting up-close encounters with marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for crabs, stingrays, manatees, dolphins, and other fascinating sea creatures that call these waters home.

While paddling, you’ll also enjoy stunning panoramic views of the John Ringling Causeway Bridge and the Sarasota skyline. As the sun begins to lower in the sky, the changing colors and peaceful atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening on the water.
