What to expect

Meet your guide at the launch location near Anna Maria Island, where you’ll receive a brief safety orientation and paddling instructions before setting out on your guided 100% crystal clear kayak tour. Paddle at a relaxed pace through calm coastal waters and mangrove areas surrounding peaceful Neil Preserve.

Along the route, guests often encounter dolphins, manatees, seabirds, fish, and other marine life while learning about the local ecosystem from your guide. As wildlife is wild, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Mangrove tunnel access may vary depending on tide levels, but your guide will always choose the best available route for safety and enjoyment.

Depending on your selected tour time, enjoy daytime scenery, breathtaking sunset glow views, or a magical nighttime glow experience as LED lights illuminate the water beneath your kayak.
