Highly recommend! My Aunt of 75 came who had never kayaker, our guide was so encouraging, very knowledgeable, have done for 3 yrs now and are never disappointed. Always super friendly folks.
My wife and I had an outstanding experience with our kayak tour, it was the highlight of our honeymoon. We saw dolphins and tons of other wildlife! Jeff was our guide and he did an outstanding job directing our group and was very knowledgeable. Rick also was awesome, accomodating a quick schedule change for us. Both knew the area well and gave us great recommendations for beaches and places to eat. Definitely join them for a morning tour!
Incredible experience!! One of the guides was so helpful and recommended the best spots to kayak through and it did not disappoint! We saw multiple dolphins who came up to us and played around our kayaks! We were able to find a gorgeous hidden beach behind the mangroves. It was an adventure from start to finish! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience all the wildlife Florida has to offer!
We highly recommend SUP KAYAK tours! We all enjoyed it, ages 18 to 69! We will definitely do it again!!!
Mike, our naturalist guide, pointed out and educated us about the many creatures and plants we saw. Without him, we would have missed most of the life beneath the water. He also passed some of these creatures around before returned them gently to their underwater homes. I highly recommend SUP for a fun learning experience.
Mike showed me and my mom around the waters, we learned so much about the flora and fauna around the area and we were so enchanted by everything that we ended up staying on the water for 3 hours! Highly recommend for tourists and locals!
I have paddled and kayaked with SUP Englewood several times and absolutely love the ECO Tours! I highly recommend this company. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and I always learn something new about Florida flora and fauna!
Great customer service, very personable and professional…lots of great spots that they tell you about and you get to see manatees
Very easy to access, good parking, abundant marine and bird life. Staff extraordinarily friendly. Very safety conscious, life vests included, clear instructions. Kayaks extremely stable. Paddleboards alao available. We saw multiple dolphins, manatees, osprey, pelicans, jellyfish, conch shells, hermit crabs, anhingas, comorants, jumping fish, and on and on. Just go, you won’t be disappointed by the experience.
We had a great experience kayaking with SUP Englewood. Nicole was very responsive to all questions prior to renting and was very welcoming when we arrived. We received a map to take with us, very thorough instructions on what to expect and she told us about the wildlife we might see. We would definitely rent from SUP Englewood again!
Amazing trip today- great guide- lots of wildlife above and below the water- beautiful setting- professional service- highly recommend!
Had a beautiful sky blue day on the water in our kayaks! Nicole led the ecotour-insuring our safety on the water. We saw starfish, whelks, numerous egrets, herons, terns, and an osprey but the best were the bay dolphins! What a great way to spend an afternoon! C.H.
Great company to rent a kayak. Nicole is very knowledgeable and gives a lot of information before you launch. All equipment needed for a day on the water is included. I will rent from SUP again.
We had an incredible time on a boat tour. It was too windy for kayaks so they gave us a second boat option. We walked on a sand bar and saw all kinds of critters. Took us to two state parks. The boat was a great choice.
My first day experience with SUP was with SUP Englewood. It was an excellent one! The fellow that helped me was really down to earth. He gave me basic instructions and directions. That's all I needed for a successful morning of SUP. I do suggest trying the flat water before heading to the ocean side. Otherwise, their set up and area is straight forward. Enjoy!
My daughter (23), and I had a wonderful kayak tour of Don Pedro Island. From the phone call to book, to the tour by Tammy. We picked up a jelly fish, and a star fish. Went through the tunnel (mangroves), to a secret quiet lagoon. We will be back soon! Exceeded our expectations!
We booked 4 hours of kayaking …. Don Pedro Island …. Had a great time…. Seen alot of 🐬 Dolphins and a couple of Manatee’s…. Great day of Kayaking ! We spent some time on the beach of Don Pedro Island and returned to kayak some more . The staff were so very helpful and friendly ! The best ! Annette Versteegen
We went out on a Kayak Tour with a group from Boca Royal to Don Pedro Island. Nicole was our guide who shared her knowledge of this beautiful area. Nicole took us to dolphin and manatee hot spots. Great day and looking forward to future outings with SUP. Thank for a great day!
Such a great trip!! This was my second time booking with SUP Englewood. We did the Stump Pass Eco Tour (kayak). Mike was our guide. He is so knowledgeable on the area, friendly and fun, extended our tour, and spotted a ton of amazing animals and local flora. He even took amazing photos for us and shared them! The booking process is a breeze, and they’re a fantastic, local, safety-and-fun-first company! 10/10 recommend.
We did an Eco Tour at the Stump Pass location. The reservation and payment online was very easy. Our guide Mike (The Bird Nerd) was incredible. We learned so much in over 2 hours and saw so much what would never have been possible on our own. We have often been to Stump Pass but this was a new perspective on this beautiful eco system. We saw several birds and other animals and learned a lot about the flora and fauna. Tammy was also super nice and was able to give us a lot of interesting information. The money is more than worth it. They also took a ton of pictures and sent them to us afterwards. It was one of the most beautiful days of our stay. Next time we would also like to come to Don Pedro Island and book a tour with SUP Englewood there.
Nice morning on the water
We rented kayaks at Stump Pass Park for a self guided tour. The entire transaction was simple and executed perfectly. We rented 3 kayaks. Nicole took our reservations over the phone and Ray was there right on time to drop off our Kayaks. The equipment was great and they provided water and dry bags.
Highly recommend for a nice morning on the water!
Awesome morning kayaking with Nicole and Ty! Saw manatees and a baby dolphin. Beautiful relaxing time - thank you
I visit Englewood a few times a year and was disappointed when my usual SUP place went out of business. But SUP Englewood is awesome! Friendly,...
Wow!! What a great morning and experience. Our first time Kayaking. We were so glad we choose the guided tour. We saw dolphins, sharks (little ones), matinees up close and personal and some jellyfish. Great time! Can't wait to go again.

Awesome Company to SUP with!
Awesome Company to SUP/Kayak with! We did a Team day on the water in Boca Grande and SUP Englewood was the perfect company for this! They had everything we could ever need, plus the guides were friendly and knowledgeable! We did a combo of SUP's and Kayaks. We saw sharks, manatees, rays, and tons of ospreys! They knew the area well and made sure our youngest kayakers, (ages 3 & 5) got to see starfish and other sea life! I highly recommend SUP Englewood for any SUP adventure!
Absolutely a fun time. Our guide was awesome 👌 fun and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!!!
Excellent!
We rented kayaks today for a four hour paddle. SUP Englewood was so great to work with! My son was almost dumped from his kayak by a manatee that surfaced under his kayak! We were able to enjoy dolphin swimming around us too! So glad we did this!
SUP Englewood Eco Tour was probably the best part of our trip! We stayed on Manasota Key and drove 15 minutest to Don Pedro state park for this adventure. The SUP team met us there with the kayaks, bottled water, and lots of smiles. Our tour guide, Mike, was amazing. We learned so much, enjoyed the wildlife (dolphins, pelicans, snails, and more). The kayaking was a nice relaxed pace, stopping often and going through a mangrove tunnel!
Nicole was the most knowledgeable and friendly guide we could have asked for! 20/10! She knew the best spots to take us to find wildlife and gave us all the facts of the area and wildlife. We saw fish, dolphins, starfish, manatee, birds, crabs, shelled creatures and so much more! I was blown away by how much information she provided us on the trip. She has a very kind and patient personality and let us take our time exploring and asked us what we wanted to do most while out on the water. I can't wait to go back and explore different places with her as well!
We had a great experience with SUP - from the booking experience to the guided tour. We were a mix of paddle boarders and kayakers and Nicole did an incredible job of guiding and teaching us all that we needed to know. A really fun and memorable day - highly recommend!!
10/10 would recommend
This was a fun family experience! We had three adults and 2 kids (4 and 6 years old). I have only kayaked a handful of times. Mike was SUPER knowledgeable about the plant and wildlife, we really enjoyed learning about the different sea life and different bird facts. My 6 year old and I flipped our kayak to make for extra memories and Mike was very patient in waiting for us 🙂 10/10 would recommend this adventure for all ages and skill levels.
Really great trip and a great outfit! We took the Eco kayak tour, and it was an incredible way to see all of the intricate sea life in the Intercoastal mangroves. They stop very often to show you things in the water that you’d probably never see on your own. Very hands on! Highly recommended!
Great place! We had a lot of fun!! Paddled for 3 hours. Saw ospreys on their nests, fish, crab & an otter
We launched from the Fishery in Placida. Ray met us with our four kayaks. Easy, courteous, and we were in the water quick. Awesome day kayaking in and around Boca Grande and Little Bocilla beach. Lots of dolphins too. Great day! Thanks Ray for the drop off and pick up!
Logan was the best tour guide we could have asked for. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately come back again the next time I'm in Florida. Highly Highly recommend S U P Englewood!! Thanks for the great time
