Had a great kayak tour with Kelly as our guide. Very knowledgeable and very interesting. Highly reccomend.

This trip was the highlight of my week. There couldn't be a better guide than Shane. He could spot sea life at the bottom of the bay. Then he would hop out of his kayak to catch it! His knowledge as a ecology major was so helpful with helping us understand the ecosystem. I am considering flying to Sarasota again... More

Have been to Sarasota for the last 8 years and hadn't got around to kayaking until now, will definitely continue to kayak, this tour was a great introduction and seeing half a dozen manatee was a great bonus. I would agree with all the positive comments written previously. It is a must do activity for everyone.

Kelly led our troop through the majestic mangrove tunnels with ease, knowledge, and humor. Kelly's knowledge about the bay was thorough and entertaining, and reminded us of a sultan navigating the waters of his land. All Sarasota visitors should partake in this adventure, and we give it 5 stars!! Kelly's Tennessean charm made the day exciting and enjoyable, while the... More

Wonderful tour through the edges of the bay and through the beautiful mangrove tunnels with Almost Heaven Kayak. Kelly was a great guide, obviously very experienced and knowledgeable, but also highly personable. He made the tour really fun for everyone. Although we got only a fleeting glimse of the manatees, it totally did not matter. He pointed out so many... More

From start to finish, this was a great day kayaking with Almost Heaven! We are a family of four with two teenaged daughters, who for the most part had never kayaked before. We weren't sure how it was going to go over, but it really, really was a GREAT day. Our guide was very informative, professional, and nice. We, along... More

Today I did something I have never done before - went kayaking! What an enjoyable experience Almost Heaven made it. Shane, our guide, was personable, helpful and informative. I was more than a little apprehensive but was quickly made to feel comfortable on the water. The pace was just right for sightseeing, picture taking and getting a bit of a... More

Took the morning mangrove tunnel tour with family including an eleven year old boy. Though I've only been in a kayak once before, the trip was quite manageable, even for a total novice. Our guide Todd kept everyone together, and patiently answered all questions. A wonderful experience, would highly recommend. And Lido Beach with its excellent food and sunny shores... More

We went on the trip on 7th April for my 7 year old sons birthday. Alan was our guide and there was 4 adults and my 2 children aged 7 & 4. We had the best 3 hours and saw so much. The pace was llaid back and alan was very informative. The mangrove tunnels were amazing I could have... More
