Nice morning on the water
We rented kayaks at Stump Pass Park for a self guided tour. The entire transaction was simple and executed perfectly. We rented 3 kayaks. Nicole took our reservations over the phone and Ray was there right on time to drop off our Kayaks. The equipment was great and they provided water and dry bags.
Highly recommend for a nice morning on the water!
Awesome morning kayaking with Nicole and Ty! Saw manatees and a baby dolphin. Beautiful relaxing time - thank you
I visit Englewood a few times a year and was disappointed when my usual SUP place went out of business. But SUP Englewood is awesome! Friendly,...
Wow!! What a great morning and experience. Our first time Kayaking. We were so glad we choose the guided tour. We saw dolphins, sharks (little ones), matinees up close and personal and some jellyfish. Great time! Can't wait to go again.

Thank you SUP Englewood and Nicole for your eco tour and giving my family such a great experience!
Awesome Company to SUP with!
Awesome Company to SUP/Kayak with! We did a Team day on the water in Boca Grande and SUP Englewood was the perfect company for this! They had everything we could ever need, plus the guides were friendly and knowledgeable! We did a combo of SUP's and Kayaks. We saw sharks, manatees, rays, and tons of ospreys! They knew the area well and made sure our youngest kayakers, (ages 3 & 5) got to see starfish and other sea life! I highly recommend SUP Englewood for any SUP adventure!
Absolutely a fun time. Our guide was awesome 👌 fun and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!!!
Excellent!
We rented kayaks today for a four hour paddle. SUP Englewood was so great to work with! My son was almost dumped from his kayak by a manatee that surfaced under his kayak! We were able to enjoy dolphin swimming around us too! So glad we did this!
SUP Englewood Eco Tour was probably the best part of our trip! We stayed on Manasota Key and drove 15 minutest to Don Pedro state park for this adventure. The SUP team met us there with the kayaks, bottled water, and lots of smiles. Our tour guide, Mike, was amazing. We learned so much, enjoyed the wildlife (dolphins, pelicans, snails, and more). The kayaking was a nice relaxed pace, stopping often and going through a mangrove tunnel!
Nicole was the most knowledgeable and friendly guide we could have asked for! 20/10! She knew the best spots to take us to find wildlife and gave us all the facts of the area and wildlife. We saw fish, dolphins, starfish, manatee, birds, crabs, shelled creatures and so much more! I was blown away by how much information she provided us on the trip. She has a very kind and patient personality and let us take our time exploring and asked us what we wanted to do most while out on the water. I can't wait to go back and explore different places with her as well!
We had a great experience with SUP - from the booking experience to the guided tour. We were a mix of paddle boarders and kayakers and Nicole did an incredible job of guiding and teaching us all that we needed to know. A really fun and memorable day - highly recommend!!
10/10 would recommend
This was a fun family experience! We had three adults and 2 kids (4 and 6 years old). I have only kayaked a handful of times. Mike was SUPER knowledgeable about the plant and wildlife, we really enjoyed learning about the different sea life and different bird facts. My 6 year old and I flipped our kayak to make for extra memories and Mike was very patient in waiting for us 🙂 10/10 would recommend this adventure for all ages and skill levels.
Really great trip and a great outfit! We took the Eco kayak tour, and it was an incredible way to see all of the intricate sea life in the Intercoastal mangroves. They stop very often to show you things in the water that you’d probably never see on your own. Very hands on! Highly recommended!
Great place! We had a lot of fun!! Paddled for 3 hours. Saw ospreys on their nests, fish, crab & an otter
We launched from the Fishery in Placida. Ray met us with our four kayaks. Easy, courteous, and we were in the water quick. Awesome day kayaking in and around Boca Grande and Little Bocilla beach. Lots of dolphins too. Great day! Thanks Ray for the drop off and pick up!
Logan was the best tour guide we could have asked for. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately come back again the next time I'm in Florida. Highly Highly recommend S U P Englewood!! Thanks for the great time
SUPEnglewood is AMAZING!
Ray at SUP Englewood is awesome! My friends and I brought our inflatable paddle boards to Don Pedro State Park. It’s a bit of a hike to take your equipment to the water. Ray had no skin in the game ( we had our own equipment) but, he still helped us wheel our boards to the water!
I highly recommend Ray and SUPEnglewood!
Very helpful guides. Great service! Would definitely rent from then again.
SUP has always been a great company to work with. This is the second year we've rented kayaks and have had excellent service from them. They supply maps, and anything else we need for our paddling experience. They even gave us an anchor for a fishing day. They deliver wherever you want to launch. You can't go wrong!
We had a group of 9 with some anxious teens and Nicole and Logan were fabulous with our crew. We had a mix of kayakers and paddle boarders and they did an excellent job of keeping us all together. They took lots of photos so we could enjoy a phone free experience. There was lots of damage from hurricane Ian, but it is nice to see the mangroves starting to recover.

A paddle just off Placida....
Great weather, gear in very good shape and everything as promises. Special thanks for up front details on the sneaky mangrove path and where to see wildlife. Met them at Don Pedro Island State park .... look forward to returnjng.
I highly recommend SUP Englewood! Nicole was amazing and super knowledgeable. It was my first kayaking experience but she made it really easy with her guidance and tips so I could fully enjoy the 2 hour tour at Don Pedro Island. I had such a great time and saw so many beautiful birds, dolphins, and other sea life! She also shared interesting facts along the tour about the area, wildlife, ecosystem and mangroves. I have a whole new level of appreciation and would definitely do the eco tour again…I may try the paddle boarding next! Thank you for such a great time and memories!
So much fun! I learned a lot about the area, wildlife and paddle boarding. Very knowledgeable guide!
SUP Englewood Fun!
Wonder SUP lesson and tour with Nichole and Mike. Quality of instruction was excellent, and both guides enriched the tour with their expert knowledge of birds, local history, and marine life. Highly recommend!! We will be back!
Phenomenal trip!
Fin-tastic experience! Our 10 and 12 year old had an amazing time. We rented the kayaks and did not use the tour. The map was explained and easy to follow. No manatee sightings but spent 30 minutes watching a pod of dolphins swim around us!
This was an awesome experience! We did a 4 hour at Boca Grande. Went through the canal and to the island and saw manatees, dolphins and awesome sea life!
A fantastic rental experience. We rented fishing kayaks in Boca Grande and had a fun day. Ray & Nichole were great in all aspects of our rental.
Such a great experience here today! We saw manatee, dolphin and lots of jelly fish. The staff was so helpful and very friendly.
SUP Eco tour was amazing! Janda truly made this worth every penny as she is fun, passionate about the eco system and so incredibly knowledgeable about all of it-- from the wildlife to the plantlife! The best part was a moment with manatees that I will never forget!! Amazing gentle giants. The Cormorants playing next to us, the jumping Mullet fish, the peaceful mangroves <> all added up to the perfect day on the water!! I highly recommend this company and either tour on paddleboard or kayak. From start to finish Ray, Nicole, and Janda gave me an experience that I will certainly never forget!
Incredible! A must-do experience with SUP Englewood!

Being new to Florida and an amateur kayaker, Nicole was such a comfort. She is so knowledgeable. All of the workers from launch to return were great! So friendly, helpful and accommodating. They truly care for everyone they put out in the water. If your in the area, definitely worth it.
We had an amazing experience with Mike, our tour guide. The ECO Tour is fabulous for nature lovers. Mike shared so much j formation about plants, bird and mammals. We saw so many animals on our trip to include a mom and baby dolphin playing near us. We highly recommend this trip. He gave us a video afterward that included pictures he took of our family. That was awesome for my family. Wear a sun shirt and a hat and bring lots of water.
We had the most amazing time with our guide, Mike. He pointed out dozens of plants, lots of animals and had knowledge about the Florida birds and mammals. That was music to this homeschooling momma's heart. As friend from TX had recommended this and I think it'll go down as one of our top ten memories for Florida. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks and an inquiring mind. The information in Mike's head was vast and varied. Really great experience!
This was the most amazing time. I had an awesome instructor Nicole took time to answer my questions, and show all the beautiful things that our trip could have offered. I am another trip very soon. This is a must do!!!!
First time paddle boarding- very knowledgeable! We had an amazing time. Felt like a pro by the end of our trip 🙂
Had a great experience renting kayaks and paddle boards from SUP Englewood! Highly recommend when you want someone to help make it easy to have an amazing day on the water. They take care of launching, directing you where to go and all the cleanup afterwards!
Fantastic!!! Logan was there to greet us when we arrived and made sure we have everything we needed before setting out. She was very informative about where to look for sea life and some cool facts too! We will definitely return.
Great guides! Nicole knew absolutely everything there was to know about the area and wildlife. It was relaxing and our family felt very safe navigating the waterways with them. We will be back next year and book again with SUP Englewood. Absolutely, great experience! Thank you!
Amazing experience kayaking to don Pedro island We seen manatees, dolphins and found lots of sharks teeth on the beach and the water there was gorgeous for swimming and snorkeling!
I used SUP Englewood for their paddle board tour and their kayak tour. Both tours are very amazing and the guides are very knowledgeable on all of the wildlife in and out of the water. They are very reasonable priced for an experience of a lifetime!!!! I will defiantly use them again!
Had an amazing adventure today with this locally owned business! The information and knowledge was top notch! Nicole is so educated on not just the sea life but the ecosystem as a whole. Highly recommend their tours!!

FAQ's About Don Pedro Island
How do you get to Don Pedro Island?
Don Pedro Island is only accessible by boat. Luckily there’s a land base side to this Florida State Park. That’s where SUP Englewood meets all participants.
The Don Pedro Island State Park Land Base is located at 8450 Placida Road, Placida FL 33946. Discover more information about this park on our blog.
Do People Live on Don Pedro Island?
Don Pedro Island State Park is the central area of a larger barrier island. People live to the north and south of the boundaries of this Florida State Park.
Is Don Pedro Island Closed?
Don Pedro Island is open Wednesday to Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM!
The kayak road at Don Pedro Island is closed and that is confusing to visitors. The public is allowed to walk down the road to the water. It is about 1000 feet. We recommend that the general public bring wheels to commute their kayaks.
SUP Englewood loads all kayak rental and tour equipment to the water for participants. No carrying anything! Just show up and have fun!
