A Sarasota-area night out on the water
Guests staying in Sarasota and on Lido Key are welcome on every tour. We launch from Overlook Park on Longboat Key, which sits just across the bridge from City Island and Mote Marine Laboratory, and the paddle looks back toward the Sarasota skyline.
Getting there from Sarasota
Follow FL-789 over the bridge onto Longboat Key and take the very first left to Overlook Park (201 FL-789, Longboat Key, FL 34228). It is a hidden drive, so slow down as you come off the bridge. Check the full details on our directions and parking page, and use your booking confirmation text to confirm the address on the day.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your launch for check-in, gear fitting and the safety briefing.
What is included
- A clear glass-bottom kayak lit by a 10,000-lumen LED strip
- Paddle, life jacket, safety whistle and lights
- Dip nets and a guide close by the whole time
- A 15-minute hands-on show and tell on the beach
The paddle is slow and easy, in 1 to 3 feet of water for about 85% of the tour. No experience is needed, and kids 5 and under ride free with a paying adult.
