We had a great time on our guided tour with Alan today. If you haven’t done this yet, DO IT!! We saw dolphins, manatee, and lots of birds. Alan was awesome. So nice and easy to talk to. Cannot recommend this place and adventure enough!

Al was great! We took our 3 and 6year old and had a blast! Saw dolphins, a manatee, countless birds and great finds on the beach! Highly recommend Happy Paddler Kayak!!

We had a blast with Alan (Allen?) our tour guide. 2 tandem kayaks for our family of 4 (kids ages 9 and 12). He helped find all kinds of aquatic life to experience, sea cucumber, crab, sea urchin, dolphin and a manatee. We had a generous amount of time to cool off in the water on a beach at the bridge/turn around point. All the equipment was in excellent condition and we felt safe the entire time. I highly recommend happy paddler and Alan as a tour guide.

Mike was an excellent guide - very friendly and knowledgeable with a sincere interest in making sure everyone had a good time. We didn’t see any dolphins or manatees on this trip (water was still a little cool for manatees) but “Jurassic Island” was spectacular! Also enjoyed Mike pointing out some of the houses of the “rich & famous” on our way back!

Hi there! You’ll love it! We go at a nice, easy pace, looking for wildlife and enjoying time on the water. We don’t typically paddle really fast or anything (unless you want to)! All of our adventures are beginner friendly and appropriate for almost anyone. As for a motor on your kayak, I’ve seen a few videos on YouTube regarding retrofitting a kayak with a motor, but I would highly recommend trading it in for a kayak with a motor already built-in. Kayaks that peddle like a bike are also available and a lot less expensive. Give me a call anytime if you have any other questions or would like to book your adventure! 941-773-1920 😎
We launch from several locations on Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, and Sarastoa depending on the conditions and wildlife trending at each area, and the kind of adventure you're looking for. Each place has its own special quality and we pride ourselves on knowing each of them very well! While we're not present at each location daily, a list of our most common launch sites can be found on our website. Departure location will be confirmed upon inquiry or reservation. Give us a call or message anytime! ;)
