What Guests Are Saying…
Extremely pleasant experience. The whole process was very well organized and instructions were provided. I'm sure to revisit the facility.
SUP is great! We rented kayaks from them to paddle around Don Pedro State Park. We enjoyed the experience so much we went back again a couple of days later. They are a super helpful, friendly group with great quality equipment. Checking in and out is quick and easy. There are a lot of places to explore, and the beach is amazing. We saw dolphins, fish along the mangoes, white ibis, herons, and other wildlife. Truly a wonderful place to visit!
Great day on the water! Jeff was very helpful and fun to kayak with. Will return!!
We had a great time learning so much and seeing animals with Tye’s help and knowledge. It was definitely a fun afternoon. Most of our group were repeat customers if that says anything.
Had a great trip with Jeff! Funny, informative and overall would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some quality time on the water and interested in learning a little something too!
We had a fabulous kayak trip with Jeff as our guide! He was fun and friendly and worked his hardest to help us see some wildlife. We would definitely go again!
Family and budget friendly, kind staff, helpful map. The equipment is up to date, clean, safe, the facility is cute and clean. We would go on may more kayaking trips with SUP Englewood
We had a wonderful trip kayaking with guide Danny. He was very knowledgeable and personable.
6 family members all ages and stages in life paddled with Tye he is the guy ! Went through the mango groves / tunnel super cool. Tye was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and interacted with each of us ( and 2 other paddlers with us). Highly recommend this group.
We had such a great time renting kayaks at Don Pedro State Park! SUP Englewood staff was so friendly, professional, and helpful. They explained where we should go and how to have the best opportunity to see the dolphins and manatees, & we felt confident navigating the area on our own in the kayaks. Our 10-year-olds absolutely loved seeing dolphins and manatees up close, it was amazing! We also loved kayaking to the beach on the barrier island… Absolutely a must do! The water was beautiful, the swimming great, and the best shelling and shark tooth finding we had all week. Definitely a highlight of our trip and we will be back!
Jeff was our guide this morning for a kayak tour. He was super friendly, knowledgeable on the area, and the ecosystem, and made sure we had a blast! Would totally come again!
We went on the guided tour with Danny as our guide, the tour was absolutely incredible, just the natural beauty and tranquility was amazing, our guide Danny made the already wonderful experience even better, his knowledge and expertise, his wit and humor and the multitude of pictures he took and shared with us was something I will always be thankful for. I highly recommend SUP and a hugh thanks to Danny, we appreciate you and hope to see you again in the future.
Great place to Kayak. Rentals went smooth including all their instructions. I would definitely use them again.
Fun day kayaking. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Took us in the middle of the paddle to a beautiful secluded beach. I took a swim perfect break before paddling back to the dock.
We went out on a Thursday morning. The guides were very nice and gave us a map and explained everything perfectly. We paddled by some dolphins, then across the river to a private landing. It was like we had our own beach! We ate our picnic lunch there then paddled to the mangrove tunnel. We felt a little rushed because our 4 hours started at 10:30 and by the time we signed all the waivers, walked to the launch, and waited our turn, it was already 11 before we even got started! The mangroves didn’t take that long and we could have stayed at the beach a bit longer. Overall it was a great experience and we will do it again next year!
Had lots of friendly staff to help you at every step of the process of paddling on the water. Solid equipment and great natural location to paddle.
We loved using SUP for our kayaking tour and rentals. We visited 3 times while we were there. Danny was excellent guide. Gear was good. The front desk was kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend using them.
We did a 2 hour kayak tour with Tye today. 2 kids ages 11 & 13. It was a great time, we learned a lot & very much enjoyed ourselves! Tye has great enthusiasm & he’s knowledgeable as well!!
Had a great time on the water, Alex was an excellent guide. We were able to see all types of marine life throughout the 2 hrs. on the water.
Our family had the best morning spent kayaking with SUP Englewood! Tye was a wonderful guide and he had so much knowledge about the area. We saw dolphins, kayaked through a mangrove tunnel, and went to a secluded beach to collect shark teeth. There were so many - the kids loved it! This was our second time adventuring with SUP and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend!
we had a wonderful two hour kayaking tour with Jeff. He was pleasant, well informed, and took us to some really cool places. I would definitely recommend it.
Great paddle. Took my grandson and we learned how to row the right way. Especially enjoyed the mangrove tunnel.
Had an awesome time! The beach at Don Pedro State Park is beautiful!
Our Kayak adventure was just perfect! Dolphins, Osprey, Conch, Sharks teeth and more. Tye was a capable, fun and relaxed guide. Thank you!
GREAT LITTLE ADVENTURE- we had a fantastic outing with SUP Englewood. My son and I did a two hour kayak trip. First, staff very knowledgeable and kind, bathrooms & office super clean, owner (Nicole) runs a tight ship and very involved to make sure your experience is top notch. Second, we kayak’d the intercostal, stopped on a couple of sandbars and learned about the local biodiversity and environment, and talked through a few real life examples (sea slugs, conches, crabs etc). Then went through passageways of mangroves to get into areas boats couldn’t go, which made it very nice and alleviated the concern of kayaking with an eight yr old through the intercostal traffic- lastly, went to a secluded beach where only Kayaks / SUP could access on the key, crossed over and swam in the gulf essentially at a private beach - then we of course saw a group of dolphins two hundred yards out. Thank you SUP Englewood for a great day!
Awesome adventure. Great value. We had an amazing time! Both Ray and Nicole are absolutely amazing hosts. Very friendly, kind and informative. Felt safe and secure in our tandem kayak adventure. What a hidden gem here in Sunny Southwest Florida!. We will be back!
Jeff was an amazing tour guide!! It was a blast paddle boarding!!! We will definitely do it again!!
Everyone was so wonderful and took care to explain the paddling and where we could cross the channel safely and gave us a map. So much fun!
This was the second time here and definitely not our last. Great people and helpful staff. See you next year
Had a great time doing the kayak tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable! I have already recommended this activity to all my friends that spend time in that area of Florida! Bonus was having mom and baby dolphin playing near us!
Wonderful people to deal with! This is our second time using them. They delivered the kayaks on time to our location. They were pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend!
This place rocks!!! Great kayak rental service right on the Englewood inland waterway. Very professional staff. Well maintained equipment. Very good orientation. Our group of 21 from Myakka River Motorcoach Resort really enjoyed the trip.
We had a wonderful paddle. There is so much to see, birds, dolphins, beaches. The staff is very helpful and professional. Highly recommend a 4 hour paddle.
Our experience this morning was fantastic! My daughter and I had never been in a kayak so we were a little anxious but were immediately out to ease with the super friendly staff as soon as we arrived. The place was very easy to get to, our check in once we got there was super smooth. Tye was our tour guide and was the best! So friendly, calm, and you could tell he wanted you to get the full experience by doing what he could to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see (manatees, dolphins, birds). He was super knowledgeable and could answer any question we had about the island, plants, animals, etc. Would definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys being on the water, seeing cool animals, and an experience on a secluded island. Thanks, Tye, for a great tour/ experience!! Oh, and he also took pictures for/of us so we didn’t have to worry about bringing our phone on the water. Then he shared them all with us after the tour.
We had a great day on the Kayak Eco Tour of Don Pedro Island with Nicole as our guide. We saw manatees, dolphins, various birds, even jumping fish! Nicole was very knowledgeable of the plant and animal life, and a pro at finding shark teeth on the beach. Highly recommend this tour, and SUP Englewood!
Amazing kayak adventure for sure. You can tell the people that helped us loved their job. Everyone was happy and enthusiastic. Definitely will go again.
Dawn was an awesome guide, very encouraging and informative. What a cool experience!
Great tour and experience! Our guide Tye was engaging and shared his knowledge of the area and its wildlife. The kayaks were in great shape, easy to use and felt very safe. Highly recommend.
We had a great time paddling. Very friendly and informative staff! It was great watching the dolphins play!
We had the perfect start. Cloudless sky and almost no boats for the first part of our trip. Danny was so knowledgeable and it’s clear how much he cares about the work he does and the ecosystem he explained so well. He told us all about the different birds, the mangrove trees, the conch shells, the stingray, and the dolphins we saw. The beach we kayaked to was gorgeous, and Danny made sure we each left with a shark’s tooth he found on the beach. (Who knew they lost so many!) Unfortunately no manatee sightings. Maybe next time. From start to finish, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
We spent a delightful 2 hours with Danny on the kayak tour of Don Pedro State Park and Little Gasparilla Island. Danny pointed out osprey nests, snowy egrets and dolphins (which swam within 10 feet of our kayaks!) We made a very special visit to a shell beach that can only be accessed by water; it was secluded and breathtaking! We found lots of shark’s teeth there on the beach. Danny took pictures of wildlife and of the people in our group and made these available to us afterwards. The kayak tour was a safe, beginner-friendly day on the water and great exercise as well. Highly recommend! And don’t forget to tip your guides🫶
We had a wonderful time kayaking the waters and mangrove tunnel of Don Pedro Island. Dawn was an excellent, knowledgeable guide who provided us with interesting facts of the area and made sure we had an enjoyable experience.
My friend and I wanted to go kayaking and it was our first time. They make you feel very comfortable and safe the entire time. Danny was extremely kind and even when my friend and I might’ve been a little slow he was sweet. Made me want to go out and buy my own kayak.
We took the Kayak Tour with our granddaughters (ages 9 and 17). Tye was our guide who shared his vast knowledge and made it a wonderful and FUN experience for everyone. Highly recommend!!!
Great tour. Dan was helpful and informative locating and showing our group various marine life. Thoroughly explained their structure and place in the Lemon Bay ecosystem.
We had Tye as our guide and he was wonderful! We had a small group of 7 and he made our trip very enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The equipment was well maintained. The day was perfect to be on the water and we also loved the time we spent on the beach finding shark teeth. We highly recommend SUP Englewood kayak tours.
