Best money spent on the entire vacation! $65 for a tandem kayak for 4 hours. Hunter was super helpful and they give you a map/go over everything you need to know about the area. We chose to go out on our own. Sadly a hurricane destroyed the bridge to the beaches for the park.. but because you can kayak there, we basically had an entire mile of beach to ourselves other than the occasional kayak showing up. Beach has lots of shells and sharks teeth. We even found a sailboat that had been abandoned on the beach and hung out there for a while. On the way back a dolphin swam around our kayak for a few minutes within 15 feet and then to top it off we saw a manatee.(For about 10 seconds). If you want something fun and adventurous to do, I'd highly suggest supenglewood.

Ray and Amanda were very helpful when we rented a pair of tandem Kayaks. After our safety briefing we saw all sorts of wildlife including a dolphin and her baby catching fish and swimming very close to our kayaks. Saw an osprey nest with fledglings. Also went to the secluded Don Pedro island and found many shark teeth. Fun 1/2 day trip!!!

We weren’t on a tour but they took my son and I out to be sure we were safe and knew what to do. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!! My only regret is I didn’t have any cash on me to tip them they deserved it! I will stop by and drop one off this week!

We had an excellent time on our tour with Danny. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and the ecosystem in the bay. He showed us several shellfish and told us all about them. We saw dolphins and osprey and thoroughly enjoyed the paddle, especially through the mangrove “tunnel” to the lake. I highly recommend a tour. My husband wished we had done the tour first before he rented a kayak to go fishing. It would have helped him immensely!

My wife’s brother and his family were visiting from Illinois and she found SUP when looking for something fun to do. She booked a tour and Tye was our guide. I cannot say enough about how much Tye added to our experience. His knowledge of local history was very impressive. So much so that he had two teenage boys on the edge of their kayaks a few times during our paddle. If you’re in the Venice/Englewood area I highly recommend you set up a tour with SUP Englewood and ask for Tye. Btw, seeing Dolphin swimming underneath my Kayak was a nice treat.

It’s so important to support people like her and her husband because they have a great influence on the handling of the waterways and animals through their education. Updated August 2024 We finally rented a tandem kayak at the Don Pedro Island location and had an amazing experience, as always! We met some manatees and saw a lot of wildlife. Great high quality gear and safety features! September 2023 We did an Eco Tour at the Stump Pass location. The reservation and payment online was very easy. Our guide Mike (The Bird Nerd) was incredible. We learned so much in over 2 hours and saw so much what would never have been possible on our own. We have often been to Stump Pass but this was a new perspective on this beautiful eco system. We saw several birds and other animals and learned a lot about the flora and fauna. Tammy was also super nice and was able to give us a lot of interesting information. The money is more than worth it. They also took a ton of pictures and sent them to us afterwards.

A wonderful tour. The kayaks and equipment are all well-maintained and in great condition, the guides are ready to accommodate every level of experience, and clearly have a wealth of knowledge about local plant and animal life. Our guide answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and checked in with our group throughout the tour to make sure we were all getting what we wanted out of the experience. While you are discouraged from bringing your own phones or cameras due to the risk of water damage, our guide made sure to capture moments throughout the tour and shared the images with anyone who wanted them at no cost afterward. So our special encounters with hunting dolphins and various birds perched along the route still got captured for us. Fun, memorable, and an exceptional way to get closer to the unique ecology of the region.

Best kayak outfitter in the area I've used. They are set up for kayaking Don Pedro Island state park. They have a little "hut" office on-site at the park, so they are easy to find. They have good kayaks and provide a map of the bay area. They do walk up rentals from 8-noon which is great for self guided kayakers. They also have guided tours. Lots of wildlife in the area and even saw some dolphins. As always, check the weather before going. Helpful and fun locals. Would recommend and rent from again.

Went out with Jeff today for the 9:30 AM tour. It’s a holiday and my family had to be in school, but I had the day off… rather than hanging around the house all day I decided to go paddle boarding as it‘s something I’ve wanted to try since moving to Florida. I am a major introvert and I loved that I could book the tour fully online without having to make a phone call 😉 And Jeff and Nicole were so nice that they made me feel comfortable and welcome the whole morning. I was their only tour booking for the morning, so I ended up with a private tour which was awesome! Jeff gave a quick land demonstration of the basics, and then we got out on the water and he had me standing and paddling pretty much right away! It was a gorgeous day, we got to see dolphins AND manatees, and a ton of jumping fish! We took a break on a beautiful bit of beach. I only fell in the water once (and that’s because I was distracted by watching all the jumping fish, LOL) One of my favorite things that I’ve done since coming to Florida, can’t wait to go again!

We also had people on our tour from children to 70s and everyone was comfortable with the pace and had a great time. Highly recommend for anyone interested in an awesome outdoor experience!

Great experience for all skill levels. We had four adults (3 single kayaks with 2 inexperience and 1 experienced and 1 paddle board inexperienced) on a guided tour with Danny. He was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated the focus on safety and environmental protection. We had a great day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience renting kayaks from SUP Englewood! Our paddle was wonderful, filled with plenty bird sightings and dolphin sightings with a delightful stop to enjoy the beach. The owners are exceptional people and incredibly friendly, making the whole experience even better. We 100% recommend SUP Englewood for your next adventure!

Best kayak outfitter in the area I've used. They are set up for kayaking Don Pedro Island state park. They have a little "hut" office on-site at the park, so they are easy to find. They have good kayaks and provide a map of the bay area. They do walk up rentals from 8-noon which is great for self guided kayakers. They also have guided tours. Lots of wildlife in the area and even saw some dolphins. As always, check the weather before going. Helpful and fun locals. Would recommend and rent from again.

Went out with Jeff today for the 9:30 AM tour. It’s a holiday and my family had to be in school, but I had the day off… rather than hanging around the house all day I decided to go paddle boarding as it‘s something I’ve wanted to try since moving to Florida. I am a major introvert and I loved that I could book the tour fully online without having to make a phone call 😉 And Jeff and Nicole were so nice that they made me feel comfortable and welcome the whole morning. I was their only tour booking for the morning, so I ended up with a private tour which was awesome! Jeff gave a quick land demonstration of the basics, and then we got out on the water and he had me standing and paddling pretty much right away! It was a gorgeous day, we got to see dolphins AND manatees, and a ton of jumping fish! We took a break on a beautiful bit of beach. I only fell in the water once (and that’s because I was distracted by watching all the jumping fish, LOL) One of my favorite things that I’ve done since coming to Florida, can’t wait to go again!

Today, we, four middle-aged women, were very anxious for our first Kayak trip. After speaking with Nicole, she convinced us that we would be fine. Well, we were not only fine, but had a most enjoyable morning with Jeff Gillette as our guide. Jeff was patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable throughout our 2 hour tour. We all had a wonderful experience, and give Jeff all the credit.

We didn’t actually get to do the SUP tour due to weather, but Dan with the company called us early enough that we hadn’t left yet to let us know that the weather was not cooperating. He was apologetic and offered other options (unfortunately we were leaving the next day and unable to reschedule) so he offered a refund that he said could take up to a week to process but it processed the same day. While bummed we didn’t get to paddle board, we appreciated the effort o get us in another day. We will definitely try again next time we are in the area!

My husband and I were part of a group tour organized by the South Venice Yacht Club. Nichole and the other tour guides at SUP Englewood had nice equipment, good and brief orientation and got us on the water quickly. The tour was excellent and they knew some really good local spots where we could see manatees and dolphins. They were very knowledgeable about the water and local wildlife. Highly recommend!
