Kayaking

Kayaking has become a popular activity for visitors and locals alike. Almost Heaven Kayak Adventures is one of the largest and most popular eco kayaking companies in the area and offers a variety of kayaking adventures, including the South Lido Mangrove Tunnels Tour. It's located just south of Anna Maria Island & Longboat Key and north of Siesta Key.

The South Lido Tour is a shallow, protected, bayside trip with minimal influence from wind and currents. We will travel through a series of mangrove tunnels and lagoons that are abundant with sealife. Along the way, there are a variety of live shells on the bottom, crabs, sponges, starfish along the mangrove roots, and some of our tropical birds. At some point, we will travel just north to Otter Key, a large protected mangrove island, where manatee and dolphin frequent the area.

The tour is 2 ½ - 3 hours long and includes basic paddling instructions. It’s a great eco tour for beginners, as well as advanced kayakers.
