Sarasota

Welcome to Sarasota

Fine white sand beaches, the calm waters of Sarasota Bay, and many cultural and environmental amenities have attracted Sarasota Florida visitors since the late 19th century. The city was long-time winter headquarters of the famed Ringling Brothers Circus and is the location of Pinecraft, a unique winter resort for the Amish and Mennonite communities. The warm Gulf of Mexico and Bay waters offer great beach going, dolphin watching, fishing, kayaking, and even parasailing. Explore downtown Sarasota on an art gallery tour or bar crawl, then find the city’s wilder side by paddling the Lido Key Mangrove Tunnels or ziplining through the nearby forest on an adventure course.

Manatee Discovery Anna Maria Island
Elizabeth_S, Jul 2026
My favorite part of our Anna Maria island vacay!
The best thing I did on vacation! There were three adults and two teens and we all had an incredible time, even though we were first time kayakers. Ben, Jonah, and Blaze were amazing guides. Shout out to Andrew for scouting head so we could see so many manatees.

Sunset Kayaking with Dolphins
J768JBandrewm, Jul 2026
Too awesome.
Andrew, Jackson, and Ben were awesome guides. We saw so many dolphins I was sick of them. Like honestly, you can only be SO enchanted, you know? Like how much breathtaking majesty is one guy suppose to digest?!? If those fish take my breath away one for @#$@#ing time I won't be able to breathe! It was a lot.Also Tommy: total bro. We didn't see manatees (which was honestly probably the safer thing - see above regarding breathtaking majesty) so he instead met us the next day for a quick followup at a secret manatee harem. This was also intense: the manatees were very present and really feeling the love. My wife blushed, but it wasn't embarrassment... It was more like a promise, you know? Anyway, like I said, Tommy is a total bro.But seriously great experience all around. The staff was SUPER friendly and helpful and we saw everything we'd hoped for and more. 10/10.

We had so much FUN!! It is definitely worth doing. The tour guides were amazing and very knowledgable. They took the time to make sure we were comfortable and also made sure we had fun. I definitely recommend bringing sunglasses because it's bright on the water, but they also keep the salt water out of your eyes.

We had a great time! Jed, Kevin and Ed were great. We did the 8 to 9pm so our lights didn't get turned on until the half way point, if you want lights The whole time go to the later tour. Waters were rough due to weather so the water was not very clear. We were still able to use the net to catch some oysters and shrimp in our nets though.
