Top Sarasota Nature and Wildlife Tours

Our tour at Liquid Blue Outfitters is unique thanks to the mangrove tunnels. Here we are not just kayaking in an open bay. We get to explore the winding waters under the canopy of the tunnels. They are home to all sorts of wildlife for an up close experience.

Our tours are unique because our guides love what they do, to share the beauty and highlights of Sarasota. They've lived in the area since they were born, or enough years to be considered a native. You'll have fun on this tour. Our guides are selected not just for their knowledge, but their personality. You'll find this private tour to be a great opportunity to learn, enjoy and maybe even make a new friend. We welcome you to join us and find out for yourself!
