Never did I expect to experience the mangroves as I did, but thanks to our wonderful guide Laura I had the best time of my life. I highly recommend to natives who aren't experienced kayakers or new comers looking to learn a little about our wonderful history. She also took some amazing videos for us!

We had the perfect beginner kayak adventure. Island Style brought the kayaks to us at Lido Beach…read more We strongly recommend starting your adventure from this put in point. Island Style provided gently used kayaks and paddles, life vests and even plastic bags for our belongings. Remember to use sun screen on the back of your neck and arms. Also consider a bottle of water. We just wore shorts and t-shirts. Our guide was Kelly. He was prompt and courteous. He had us in the water and out of the water at the agreed times. Our guide made the adventure memorable. Starting with dry land instructions, our guide exhibited consistent knowledge, patience, encouragement . He continued to provide thoughtful instruction throughout the trip. Our guide helped us locate dolphins, snakes and pin fish along the Lido Park Mangroves. Also spotted green heron, ibis, and snowy egrets just outside mangrove tunnels. We had a wonderful adventure and Island Style provide us with a relaxing and intimate way to experience Sarasota's natural treasures.

The tour guides/owners grew up here and know the mangroves inside out. We love that they are not just taking us out for fun, but also teaching us about conservation. If they come across any trash, they pick it up. They carry pliers with them to help pull hooks out of the local wildlife. Their hearts and soul are invested in this area. They are super friendly, patient, and a lot of fun! We won't go anywhere else!!!

We also were shown small crabs climbing the mangroves as we explored the passages of tunnels. We would recommend this excellent guided tour.
