Fantastic Adventure!
My daughter and I booked the Lido Mangrove Tunnels Tour and we had a wonderful time. Our guide Orion was friendly and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the mangrove environment. Not only were the tunnels beautiful but we learned so much as we kayaked through them. We highly recommend this experience!

Great spot for a paddle!
Beautiful paddle on Sarasota Bay and through a unique network of mangrove tunnels. Our guide was very knowledgable about local wildlife and natural history. We got up close looks at ibis and little blue herons and also saw osprey, cormorants, and lots of mullet leaping out of the water.

Girls kayak adventure
4 of us decided to rent Kayaks for the afternoon and have an active girls day. It was a lot of fun going through the mangroves and Kayaking to a beach where we had a snack and went for a swim. I would do it again.

Consistently great tour
I've been on the mangrove eco-tour 4 times now with friends and family with different guides and it has always been a hit with my out-of-town visitors. The guides are very knowledgeable and all have had a great sense of humor. Each tour has been different but all fun and I have learned something new each time. Also the groups seem to be smaller than the other tour companies, making the experience more personal. I highly recommend this kayaking company and their tours if you are going to be in the Lido Key area.

Highly recommend
Highly recommend this activity! If you are looking for a way to learn more about the natural habitats, fish, birds and mangroves this delivers. Small groups and knowledgeable guides. We had Cory and Nick. The kayaks are well maintained.

Amazing!
We have used Almost Heaven at least 5 times. Whenever we have company this is a must do. The guides are knowledgeable about the area. The mangrove tunnels are so much fun and beautiful. I can’t say enough about this company except that we would not use anyone else for this adventure.
