KAYAKING TOURS LED BY FLORIDA MASTER NATURIST GUIDES

SUP Englewood took our large group out of 27. They did such a professional job in educating our group of the area and what we might see. Danny was extremely informative and very pleasant and for an hour and a half, our group was very pleased about our experience. We saw dolphins, manatees, and plenty of birds. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an awesome experience, whether is a party of two, or a whole group. You will have an amazing time on the water!

Our "young" tour guide Danny was absolutely amazing! He provided such clear and concise instructions as well as detailed information about the area, the wildlife and how to be great stewards of the environment while enjoying our surroundings. I will be looking forward to coming back again.

Had an awesome time on the Kayak Eco Tour with SUP Englewood today! Danny was a great guide. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and kept the tour fun the whole time.We saw manatees, dolphins, and plenty of other local wildlife, which was really cool. One of the best parts was stopping at Don Pedro Island to walk the beach and hunt for shark teeth. Danny shared a lot of interesting information about the area without making it feel like a lecture.If you're in the Englewood area, I definitely recommend this tour. It was a great mix of kayaking, wildlife, and beach time, and it ended up being one of our favorite things we've done on our trip.

Excellent service, we had the best time.

Don’t think twice! Just go! I decided I wanted to be a kayaker, however I’ve never done it! We booked a 12:30 tour and headed over. Fantastic experience from the start! Book online, sign the waiver online and just show up. Tye was our fabulously informative guide today. He started out by teaching us about the oars (that’s key fyi) how to control the kayak with them. Soon we were on our way! Our first 10 minutes included dolphins! Right alongside us! I cannot even count how many manatees we saw! As we were paddling along we pulled up to land, docked our kayaks and walked a very short distance to the most amazing turquoise waters I’ve ever seen and a Private Beach! Tye allowed us to go into the gulf and helped me find shark teeth! He is so knowledgeable about birds, sea life, Florida history! Defiantly go visit! ALSO!! Tye took pictures of us and videos and sent them to us through email! Dont be afraid to try new things!

Our guide Jeff was welcoming, supportive and very knowledgable about the area. He welcomed any and all questions. We had a fantastic ecotour of Don Pedro park and its waterways. We saw a dolphin, manatee and jumping fish!My daughter rented a single person kayak. They have sit-on-top kayaks and SUP for rent. I would recommend a two person kayak when going out with kids. Her single kayak was $49.50 for 9am to 1:00pm. She struggled with the paddle handle since there’s no padding, her hand kept sliding down. If you have your own paddles you may want to consider bringing it or asking if they have grips available.The pace was just right for my novice level teenager and we were able to stop and walk across for a quick swim in the gulf. From there you can see other islands. This was a very enjoyable trip and I would recommend it!

We had a wonderful experience on our canoe tour today! Even though we didn’t have a reservation, everything was arranged quickly and smoothly.The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were especially great with our child, took their time to explain everything, and made sure we felt comfortable before setting off. It never felt rushed or like a mass operation – the personal attention was much appreciated.The route was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins, sea turtle nests, and even find shark teeth along the way. It was a fantastic adventure!We highly recommend this tour and would definitely come back again. We had so much fun. Thank you for a memorable experience! 😊🚣‍♀️🐬🦈🐢

We had a fantastic time at Don Pedro Island State Park, especially thanks to SUP Englewood. We rented a tandem kayak and paddled to the island. The staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming during the rental process, and that continued through every interaction we had. Once we got paperwork and payment squared away, we were sent outside for a quick paddling and safety lesson. Then we walked down to the water where another staff member gave us a quick map lesson and shared lots of tips and tricks for seeing wildlife like dolphins, manatees, osprey, and more. They made the entire experience easy and enjoyable.I highly recommend renting from SUP Englewood and paddling over the Don Pedro island. The views along the way are amazing, and the beach on the island is quiet, almost secluded, and beautiful with white sand and beach morning glories.

Excellent service, very easy to work with, their equipment was in great shape. Would definately recommend.

Jeff was an awesome tour guide! We saw incredible wild life including dolphins, manatees, and local birds. Jeff shared the history of the island and incredible knowledge of the local vegetation. We had an amazing time and it was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Friendly staff, helpful instructions for my single day rental, great map and landmarks. They had reliable dolphin and manatee sighting areas. Great

Easily the best spot to kayak. We see dolphins every time, it’s 5 minutes from an empty beach, and the staff is very nice. Will be coming back many times.

Got eaten by mosquitos. Saw a dolphin. A manatee nibbled on someone's paddleboard. 10/10 would do again

What a fun excursion for our girls trip. Ours was pretty leisurely- anyone could do it. The wildlife was sort of quiet that day, but we still had a good time. Our guide was very knowledgeable!

Had a wonderful time. Jeff is a great tour guide.

What a great tour. Our guide, Danny, was very knowledgeable about kayaking, the local wildlife and history, and had a great sense of humor. He also took great pictures for us along the tour.

Staff is knowledgeable, kind and helpful! They provide a laminated map for you if you rent kayaks. We did not make reservations and didn’t even have to wait which was nice. The mangrove tunnel was a little hard to navigate with the long oars and some of the branches poking out but that’s not their fault ( just giving info for future kayakers). We had a beautiful day and saw manatees, sea birds and a dolphin up close. Bring bug spray, lots of mosquitoes down the path to the water! Or purchase some there!My only request would be….. It would be super helpful if they could put a couple hooks up in the bathroom to assist with changing out of wet clothes, or holding a purse.

Such a good experience 🫶

Jeff was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area, shared some cool facts, took pictures to share with us and was a funny and personable guy! They had water and waterproof bags for purchase, which was convenient. They held our keys in the office so we didn't have to take them with us which was also very convenient! We had a great tour and it was a blast! We did see lots of dolphins, birds, fish, plants, etc! All around 5 stars and would recommend!

What a wonderful experience!!!! Tye was an AWESOME guide! He knew so much about the area and the wildlife! We saw multiple dolphins and manatees during the tour. Tye was able to find us several share teeth too when we stopped at the beach. It was truly a wonderful day! I highly recommend this tour!

Danny was an excellent guide. Seeing and hearing about the wildlife was awesome

Every time I have visitors I schedule either a SUP or kayak tour with SUP Englewood. I am always impressed by the experienced tour guides. The beautiful marine life we have seen is breathtaking. This event ends up being the highlight of our trip.

With Jeff as our guide, we had a fabulous time and saw plenty of wildlife. A really fun tour.

Saw lots of wildlife. Thanks Danny!

Fantastic! I was honestly expecting the kayaks to be a small part of the vacation, but they honestly made the trip. The staff was SUPER accommodating! It genuinely bugs me that I've been here before and NOT used this. I will definitely use them again, and would recommend them to anyone.

I booked a morning kayaking trip with SUP Englewood as a last-minute activity during a vacation from Maine and it exceeded all of my expectations. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the entire staff was welcoming and kind. I’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable experience!

We love this place! We had a very good time, a very beautiful place, and very good service.

We had an extremely enjoyable kayaking trip led by Danny who is very knowledgeable. We witnessed Osprey, Dolphins, Manatee and various birds in their environment.

Thank you Nicole for a wonderful tour! We got to see dolphins and spent some time on the beach at Don Pedro Island. We will be back for sure! #englewoodleadership26

Such amazing people! I came here to kayak with my husband and his friend. We brought our own kayaks but needed a life vest, and they kindly loaned us one along with a wheel to help tow our kayak to the water completely free of charge. The staff here are incredible, and you can genuinely tell they enjoy what they do and are happy to be there. They made the whole experience even better!

Friendly, knowledgeable and informative staff. Beautiful place to paddle around.

Had a great kayaking experience today. Staff were super friendly and helpful. All equipment was in great condition. Staff helped us launch and "de-boat" . The map they provided pointed out sites and experiences along the way. Water fowl, jumping fish and dolphins made the day. Great for the beginner or experienced kayaker :-0

We had a wonderful kayak trip! We saw dolphins and manatees. Everyone was so friendly and explained all neccessary things we needed to know. Thank you so much, we will come back!

A special thank you to Danny and Andy at SUP Englewood! As first timers paddling from Don Pedro Island State Park, they were so friendly and helpful. Danny went out of his way to help us launch safely, explained where to cross, and even offered to take a family picture once we returned. Thank you all for making it a pleasant experience and can’t wait to return!

Jeff, our tour guide, was amazing! He's very knowlegeable about the area and the wildlife. The length of the 2 hour tour was perfect! We were able to get out on a secluded beach and walk a short distance to the gulf. Jeff took us to all the spots where the manatees usually hang out, but unfortunately the manatees didn't know they were supposed to come and see us today! We did get to see dolphins in a couple of different spots and they were really up close to us! My husband and I had a wonderful time! We would definitely recommend taking a kayak tour with SUP Englewood!!

Every customer is treated like they are the most important. Very friendly, Knowledgeable and caring staff. Equipment is in great condition . Very efficient check in process . Tours are well run and informative - no rush - no pressure-just a fun relaxing time finding wildlife . Our guide Tye was excellent he found dolphins, manatees and even a sea horse for us to see.

My friend bought the kayak guided tour for my birthday. The two of us had such a wonderful morning with our guide Jeff. We had the best day watching the dolphins play a couple of times during the tour and we also saw a couple of manatees. Jeff had so much knowledge of the land and water we were enjoying. We will definitely return. Thank you again! Donna

Did a boat tour with Ray on a bachelorette trip and we had the best time! We requested to see wildlife and we saw many dolphins! Then went out to the sand bar and hung out for the afternoon. What a great day!!

Very organized and helpful! We had tons of fun.

Ray is amazing. Very attentive and we had a great time!

Had a very nice time kayaking. We received good instruction for how to use the kayak and wore life jackets. Dan was knowledgable and helpful describing the nature in this area. Highly recommend the Don Pedro Island kayak tour.

Great experience. The gentleman, I believe his name is Ron, was very informative and told us a lot about the area and things to look out for. He was very helpful and added even more to the experience. Would definitely run from this company again. Thank you.

Fantastic Morning at SUP Englewood with SUP Instructor & Kayak Guide Jeff Gillette! Everything from check-in to end drop was seamless, organized, and really positive. With expert guidance, we encountered dolphins, a hidden lagoon, tons of wildlife, and the beautiful beach on Don Pedro Island. The Best~ Thank You! Highly Recommend!

Tye was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and passionate!! Highly recommend!

The owners and staff are absolutely amazing and they are a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate them so much.

Amazing time! Saw manatee, dolphin, and stingray!

Tye - our guide - was exceptional. Wonderful to learn about the birds, waterways and even see a dolphin with a fish! Will return for sure! Thank you, D’Arcy and Samanthal

We had such an amazing experience on our kayaking tour through the mangrove tunnels with SUP Englewood! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and enjoyable.Our guide, Danny, truly made the trip special. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the local wildlife and environment. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the experience even more engaging and memorable.We always felt safe and well taken care of, while still having an absolute blast out on the water. One of the highlights was seeing so much wildlife up close—dolphins, manatees, starfish, redfish, mullet, and a variety of beautiful birds. It felt like a true Florida nature adventure!Danny also made sure to take photos of us which made my day since I’m usually taking the photos and never in them. Thank you!!Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and educational outdoor experience. We would definitely do it again!

SUP Englewood gave us a great kayaking experience with our wonderful guide, Tye! We saw dolphins, many birds and a manatee. The private beach was an added bonus. Thanks for the memories.
