6/5 stars if I could. Everyone here was fantastic to work with. I was a walk in and didn't have a reservation but they accommodated my daughter and I seamlessly allowing us to enjoy a beautiful day out on the water. The price is more than reasonable for a 4 hour rental. We were only out for a little over 3 hours and we felt that was more than enough to enjoy the day and see all there is to see in the beautiful mangrove forests. You can either get a guided tour or do what we did and just cruise around but you're still provided with a cool map and tips on where to go to see things like dolphin and manatees. The mullet were jumping and a dolphin passed right in front of us cementing those memories for all eternity all thanks to SUP Englewood. Be sure to check the water level before going to through the mangrove tunnels because it can get tight if it's high. Shout out to Ray and the team for getting us all squared away. We will definitely be back to go again.
Had a wonderful visit yesterday! Super professional, well-run team of enthusiasts. Plenty of kayaks, good prep (to include an informative pre-paddle how to paddle for those who haven’t done it in a while), safety tips and a smooth, organized launch . Saw dolphins (exactly where noted on the map), super scenic paddling along the mangroves, great birds along the way, boats in the boating lanes were polite. The team was waiting to help upon returning and were as exited as we were to have seen such beautiful sites and paddled with the dolphins 💚☘️ Thanks for making the experience awesome!
Danny was an awesome guide. The whole operation is first class. The largest group number in a tour is only eight people. Danny took pictures and emailed them to people in the group. Saw dolphins up close and many different kinds of birds. Highly recommend using SUP Englewood!
Solid kayak tour. Danny was a great tour guide pointing out all of the wildlife and making sure everyone was ok in their boats. Great experience highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our kayaking trip. The staff was so easy to work with and our guide was easy to follow and very knowledgeable. It made for a great outing.
We had a great experience. Everyone was really great and provided all necessary information needed. We also saw some Dolphins.
Wow! What a class operation! From the moment you check in they make you feel welcome and relaxed! The staff is very professional, cheerful and friendly. They make getting in your kayak easy and comfortable. We took a tour and our guide, Tye, was great! He is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and took us to some beautiful spots. We stopped along the way to see and learn about some marine life. The waters are perfect for beginners to experienced kayakers. If you get a chance, go check SUP Englewood out! You won’t regret it!
We had the best time on our guided tour. Our guide, Tye, was very knowledgeable and made our day on the water. Very smooth process to check in and get in our kayaks. Everyone was helpful and friendly. We will be back!
Thanks, SUP team for a very enjoyable and educational kayaking tour. Reservations and check in were so easy. Our guide, Danny, was so engaging, giving the group very clear instructions for our safety and protection of the environment, sharing his knowledgeable about the history of the area and pointing out so much wildlife, Would highly recommend this tour!
Awesome experience, made better by Ray and Jesús! Best customer service south of Sarasota!
Prompt , friendly service delivered and picked up from Oyster Creek Park. Thank you Ray. Bring a towel or something soft to sit on if you are doing a long paddle.
The entire experience was outstanding. Our guide was Janda and she was friendly, helpful and provided incredible insights throughout the 2 hour trip. We highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing staff! Their accessibility gets 5 stars from me as well. Not only do they have accessible restrooms but they have a beach wheelchair to help assist with getting in and out of the kayaks as well. The staff was exceptional with help getting in and out too. We got to see a ton of marine life and collected some beautiful shells along the way. Overall we had an amazing time and we will definitely be back again! Thank you to the staff!
Taking this kayak tour with Jeff was amazing! He was so fun and knowledgeable, and took us to see dolphins! Rerouted us to wind through the mangroves, so awesome 👌
Absolutely amazing wonderful and educational experience! Jeff is a talented, encouraging and fun guide. He also took great photos and sent them to me…I was too busy enjoying the experience to take photos. Highly recommend this adventure. Reasonable prices as well.
We had visitors from Indiana and decided kayaking sounded like a fun day. We booked for a guided kayak tour with SUPEnglewood at Don Pedro state park. Check in was smooth and easy. Our guide was Tye. It was very interesting listening to his history of the area and the Calusa Indians and their culture. He also talked about the sea life and conservation measures for the fragile ecosystem. Fun, fun day. Will return.
First time kayaking and I'm coming back for more. Our guide, Danny, was the perfect Instructor, and intuition of the group. Everyone we had an encounter with on staff helped us feel safe and comfortable.
Fantastic experience. Saw dolphins paddled to the beach and had a perfect day. Thanks SUP Englewood!
We had a great time with Danny as our guide. He was super knowledgeable about all the wildlife. We saw dolphins, manatee, bald eagles, osprey and took a detour to a beautiful private beach. Highly recommend!
I went for a kayak tour earlier this year. It was so beautiful and relaxing, and an adventure at the same time. Our Guide Danny showed us some amazing snails and other creatures living in the shallow water — all while making sure to protect them by not removing them too long from the ocean. Danny was very knowledgeable about the weather as well (I was visiting during a cold snap), and checked in on the group and kept us safe. It’s a professional, environmentally friendly set up with a relaxed vibe. I went by myself and am hoping to bring more of my family with me when I get back there!
No wonder everyone gives a five star rating, it's absolutely deserved! We had a great experience thanks to the crew here. Everyone was helpful and friendly, explaining everything. They seemed to enjoy their job. We rented SUPs and used every minute of the four hour rental a we explored the area, seeing osprey, diving pelicans fishing, jumping dolphins showing off behind boats in the channel, shells on the beach on the island we paddled to, peaceful lake at the end of the mangrove tunnel and more. The only word of caution is to be careful crossing the channel where it can be quite busy with boats, although they are supposed to be idle speed only, so it's not bad for waves. Thanks to all for a great experience.
SUP Englewood is a professional and friendly kayaking/paddleboard company. We took a guided tour with Danny who is well educated about Florida’s mangroves, sea life and history. It was an educational yet relaxing experience. I highly recommend starting your kayaking adventures with a guided tour!
Great experience I had a lot of fun. Guide was Friendly, knowledgeable and made it fun! Will go back again for sure
Very good time! Jeff was very informative and a very nice guy! Got really close to a dolphin! Would definitely recommend!
Our family had a fantastic time on the SUP Englewood eco kayak tour. The water was calm, the weather was perfect, and we saw plenty of wildlife, making for a truly relaxing and memorable outing. Danny was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, personable, professional, and fun. He shared great insights about the local ecosystem while keeping everyone engaged and comfortable. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Danny as your guide.
We had a great morning kayaking tour with Danny. Very friendly and shared great details about the area and treasures we found the way. Highly recommend you kayak and paddleboard here. Everyone was great!! We will be back
Great experience kayaking around Don Pedro island on New Years Day! SUP Englewood was very accommodating as it was a last minute plan for us. As we arrived we saw we had just missed the last tour. But they had someone who was willing to take us out on our very own tour! Danny was very knowledgeable about the area and the marine creatures he showed us. At the end there was a dolphin swimming near us which made the kayaking trip even better than expected!
Danny was a terrific guide! He was knowledgeable and was amazing at spotting marine life. We definitely would not have known what to look for - learned so much and had a great experience. Everyone we came in contact with, either by phone or in person, was friendly and helpful. He even took loads of great pictures of what we saw and of us then shared them with us at the end of our tour. It's a public park and dock so you can put in if you car-top your own. It's a roughly 800ft walk from the parking lot so be prepared to carry your SUP or kayak. However, they kindly offer the use of their carts if they are open for business and are not too busy. My friend and I went on a Friday and were lucky to have calm water and barely any motor boats. I returned on Saturday on my own with my own SUP - not as fun with so many motor boats who did not respect the no wake zone.
We had a great time on our tour! Jeff was an awesome guide. This was a great activity for everyone in our family!
Great place to kayak! The staff is super friendly and helpful! Also, they have nice hats and shirts for purchase!
Fantastic experience! People were friendly, knowledgeable and communicated all information clearly. Lots to see, and we were lucky enough to have several manatees approach us and hang out for almost 30 minutes. A dream come true! The beach on the far end of the paddle is spectacular. Would definitely do this again and recommend to all my family and friends!
Super 2,5 Stunden- Tour mit den Kayaks. Unser Guide hat uns Delphine und Manatees gezeigt, ein Manatee ist direkt unter mein Kajak geschwommen. Coole Truppe, unkompliziert. Wenn online nix mehr geht, einfach anrufen. Absolut empfehlenswert. Guide hat zudem Fotps gemacht und dann kostenlos allen zur Verfügung gestellt. Awesome, dudes!
This was by far the coolest Florida experience I’ve ever had in 30 years of Florida visits. We ventured out with our kids and the map and it was quite the adventure. Being up close to dolphins was unbelievable. The serenity of the water is indescribable. And the paddle only beach was a tropical dream of clear water and sandbars. Pack a lunch and adventure out you won’t be disappointed.
Always friendly. Professional attitude. Give all information you need to have good time. Cant wait to come back next time.
This was a great experience. Ty was a great guide. We were able to see dolphins and manatees. We learned many new things and had so much fun.
We had a great experience! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable of where to find the sea life and how to make sure to respect their space.
Absolutely amazing experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the equipment was great, and having a map was fantastic. The path that they lead you on is perfect because there aren't a lot of boats. We saw everything but Manatees so that's pretty awesome. Definitely a must do and worth the price!
Had the most amazing time kayaking and seeing the local manatees! Jeff was an awesome tour guide and kept us entertained for the entire 2 hours. Time flew by and hope to come back again next year!
Had a great time on the 2hr kayaking tour! Jeff was an awesome guide, super knowledgeable and fun! Saw a ton of wildlife, dolphins and fish jumping out of the water. Shoutout to the SUP team for making such a great memory for our family.
Nicole was so helpful with our reservation. Top notch customer service! Tye was great with our mini lesson and SUP launch. They had a map and amazing plan for our 4 hour rental. We saw dolphins and manatees. Highly recommend!
Learned a lot during the aquatic talks as we paddled. Will do it again.
This was our second time using this company— great customer service and employees are all super helpful and friendly.
Take the tour! Jeff was a great guide, informative about the area, paced with my experience and spotted dolphins and manatees. He even took pictures for me so I could enjoy paddling. The best! If you are thinking about it, stop thinking and book it. There are helpers at the dock to help you in and out of the kayak. They show you how to optimize your paddle. Then you get on the water and enjoy the sun, the mangroves and the wildlife. Great Day! I will book again and bring family along!
