We went out on a Kayak Tour with a group from Boca Royal to Don Pedro Island. Nicole was our guide who shared her knowledge of this beautiful area. Nicole took us to dolphin and manatee hot spots. Great day and looking forward to future outings with SUP. Thank for a great day!

Such a great trip!! This was my second time booking with SUP Englewood. We did the Stump Pass Eco Tour (kayak). Mike was our guide. He is so knowledgeable on the area, friendly and fun, extended our tour, and spotted a ton of amazing animals and local flora. He even took amazing photos for us and shared them! The booking process is a breeze, and they’re a fantastic, local, safety-and-fun-first company! 10/10 recommend.

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. It was one of the most beautiful days of our stay. Next time we would also like to come to Don Pedro Island and book a tour with SUP Englewood there.

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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!
