When we arrived we had a very little wait time till we started out tour. In our tour it was just the 3 of us so it was more personalized. Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the species that live in the mangrove and the history. Overall we had a blast and would do a tour again.
Great experience just not for newbies

It was a cool experience but wouldnt recommend it if you havent ever kayaked before. Our guide really didn't provide much instruction at all even though we stated we were beginners. Felt left behind until we reached the mangroves where they became more helpful. Would highly recommend if you do have experience as it is exceptionally unique & amazing to experience. However, I would reconsider if you are brand new to a kayak.

We decided to take our daughter (20 something) out because we had such a great time last month out with Phil. Well we got lucky and got him again! Second time was even better. Phil is very knowledgeable and knows how to make it fun. I would recommend this to everyone and I would ask for Phil.
Amazing adventure highly...

We stayed in Siesta Key for a week and our kayaking tour through the Mangroves on Lido Key was one of the highlights of our trip! SURFIT did a great job getting us where we needed to be and on the water. The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. Kayaking into those tunnels is like going into a different world. We got to hold upside down jellyfish, we saw birds, weird crab creatures, starfish and mussels and just felt like explorers. We stopped at a little beach, got a great family picture and did more exploring there and found a sea worm and crab. All of the kids (ages 7 (we had her in a two-man kayak with her dad), 17 and 20) had a great time and said it was one of their favorite memories of the trip!
Fun & unique experience!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
