Fun time for all ages! - The pedal kayaks were very easy to maneuver. My family of 5 (including my 81 year old mother) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Our guide, Skye, was great and very knowledgeable with a fun sense of humor. I highly recommend this excursion!

Pedaling First Timers - Awesome - What an amazing and enjoyable day on the waters of Sarasota Bay! We had not "pedal" kayaked before and were a bit anxious but much to our surprise it was so EASY and we thought much simpler than paddling. On our tour we saw multiple dolphins, birds, fish, a graceful, friendly manatee and explored a sandbar - we were all thrilled, especially the kids in our group. Our guide, Sky, was friendly, professional and very informative about all we were seeing and doing. We will definitely rent from this company again! Recommend you do it too - it's GREAT!

Paddles Up People - 10/10 recommend! Joe was an amazing tour guide who made us constantly laugh and gave us "fun facts" about the water, sea life, and land! We saw beautiful manatees and befriended an adorable bird named "Terry". Though it was hot (HOT), the experience was worthwhile and would recommend! We thoroughly enjoyed not being on a time crunch and it felt like a true vacation. Joe also provided dry bags for our belongings. *would book the morning trip, not afternoon because of how hot it gets.

Great distraction from the beach - We were looking for something to do besides go to the beach on Siesta key during our trip, so I googled "things to do in Siesta Key" and this came up. Read the description and reviews, and it sounded like a good time. Well, it sure was. Steve was our guide, and he made the entire trip easy, informative, and enjoyable. It's really fun sitting out in the bay with the friendly cormorants darting all around you and fishing. The mangrove tunnels are super-neat to explore, and they're much cooler than sitting on the bay in the sun. If you're lucky like us, you'll see a manatee or two, they're very docile. Almost the entire trip was spent in shallow water, so we didn't even wear our lifevests. You'll have a wonderful time, try this!

Great small group experience with Sky! - We had a personal group experience with just the 6 of us. We had a great experience exploring the Mangrove tunnels and Sarasota Bay with our tour guide Sky. He was fun and funny as well as engaging. He had good knowledge of the eco system and would get out of his Kayak and dive in to get species to show us. ( Like the horseshoe crab). He also show respect to the Manatees encouraging us to create space and not invade on there territory. We would highly recommend him if you are booking a tour. We had a great experience. Thanks Sky!

Knowledgeable tour guide, 1st rate service. - This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Mitch was extremely knowledgeable and offered so much information about the area, water, conservation efforts, etc. We saw dolphins before moving on to the mangrove tunnels where we saw crabs, starfish, and herons. The mangrove tunnels were so cool and relaxing. Mitch was very patient and helpful with us since no one in our group of 6 had experience with kayaking. We were treated like VIPs from the very start. They went over and above to make sure we had what we needed, that we knew everything in advance (such as "you're going to see crabs that look like big spiders, but they are not and will not hurt you so don't panic", and "if you happen to capsize, stand in the middle of the tunnel", etc.), and were comfortable and ready to go. I would definitely recommend Liquid Blue Outfitters for Kayak tours or rentals.

Excellent - Our tour guide Kelly was great. Funny and easy to talk with, Kelly made us laugh while relaxing on the water. Kelly was also very educated on all of the surroundings and water and told us very interesting facts. Ask for Kelly as your tour guide on your next trip.
