It is easy to spend your entire vacation taking advantage of every luxurious amenity in your Siesta Key vacation home, but adding a little adventure to your stay will elevate your experience. For a new perspective on creating excitement, invest in a Siesta Key kayak rental and head to the mangroves for a tour unlike any other.
Explore The Mangroves Near Siesta Key
The mangrove tunnels are special tunnel waterways that exist right in the gorgeous heart of South Lido Key, the southernmost part of Siesta Key, FL. The mangroves are an awesome spot ideal for getting in touch with this beautiful, luscious, and unique Florida ecosystem. The mangroves are a popular spot amongst Siesta Key vacationers, offering access via kayak, canoe, or paddleboard depending on your watersport skill level.
During a tour of the Siesta Key mangroves, you’ll come across indigenous marine life such as dolphins or even manatees, adding a special memory to the experience. If you’re considering taking a tour of the mangroves the easiest access points are in South Lido Key or close to downtown Sarasota.

You can book a mangrove tour with Adventure Kayak Outfitters, this company also offers more specialized niche tours such as Sarasota Kayak Tour, their Siesta Key Kayak Tour, and their Myakka River Alligator Kayak Tour.

Be an Eco-Friendly Neighbor

So let this be a simple reminder to clean up after yourself, always throw trash in the trash can (and recycling items in the recycling bins, respectively) and be a good environmental neighbor. Just as you act as a good neighbor to guests in surrounding Siesta Key vacation rentals, show the same respect to our environment when you visit Siesta Key. This will help places and excursions like the aforementioned, as well as countless others, to be able to open up once more and offer greater services than before.
