    What To Expect

    Enjoy the thrill of kayaking with wild bottlenose dolphins in the beautiful surrounding waters of Anna Maria Island and Bradenton during sunset. These small group kayak eco-tours last 2 hours and often allow you an amazing opportunity to see these marvelous creatures up-close in their natural environment. While on this journey paddlers may also get to see large numbers of native bird species that nest on nearby islands. Our seasoned tour guides will provide you with detailed information about the area, the wildlife, and even take photos to document your experience. While you kayak with dolphins, you will experience one of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Manatee County.

    Please note that we use tandem kayaks. If there is a solo customer or odd numbered group we will set up one single kayak to accommodate. Please call with any questions or requests.
