Paddle Siesta Key’s mangrove tunnels and grass flats, spot wildlife, and take a swim break at a secluded beach near Turtle Beach.

About this tour

Trade the crowds for calm water on a Siesta Key kayak and paddleboard rental from Turtle Beach. Paddle among mangrove islands, slip through natural tunnels, and scan the grass flats for birds and aquatic life.

Choose a single or tandem kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or, when conditions allow, a surfboard or boogie board. Your rental comes with safety equipment, paddles for kayaks and paddleboards, and a map with local pointers to help you explore the surrounding waterways. Take a break at a secluded beach for a swim or a little time on shore. Manatees are often spotted in the area during spring and summer.

Turtle Beach sits a few miles from the main Siesta Key beach, and the Sarasota County trolley stops there. Surfboard availability depends on the waves, so call ahead if that is your plan. Set out at your own pace and discover a quieter side of Siesta Key on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 1.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Sarasota
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
