Sarasota Clear Kayak Tours
@ Longboat Key & Mangrove Tunnels
Launch from the white sands of Longboat Key and explore Sarasota Bay's hidden wildlife in a 100% transparent kayak.
Experience Sarasota Bay like Never Before
Forget the crowded marinas. Our tours launch directly from the pristine shoreline of Longboat Key, giving you instant access to Sarasota's most beautiful protected waters.
Paddle your 100% clear kayak through winding mangrove tunnels that feel like a different world. Because our kayaks act as a magnifying glass, you'll have a front-row seat to the marine life of Sarasota Bay — including manatees, dolphins, and starfish, right beneath your seat.
