Sunset E-Bike Tour of Siesta Key
After a thorough tutorial and fitting of the bikes we'll make our way immediately out onto the #1 beach in the country. We ride to the Southern-most point, Crescent Beach and Point of Rocks. We share a bit about the area then continue on, making our way all the way to the Northern-most point of the Key, Sunset Point. There is a local gentleman that puts on a flag lowering ceremony complete with Taps on the bugle each night as the sun sets, we stick around to observe this then ride the entire length of the beach back to our starting point. We take plenty of photos throughout and send them at the end so you are sure to have plenty of mementos to remember our adventure!
Other things to note
Although no special clothes or shoes are necessary to ride, I do recommend wearing something comfortable as we will be on the bikes the entirety of the tour.
Catered Kayak Ecotours
The day begins with launching kayaks and instruction on basic kayaking. After an hour and a half of paddling, while viewing native wildlife and discussions on the environment, we stop for gourmet lunch, created by your guide and chef. After lunch we embark on another hour of eco touring. The trip is 3 hours.
Other things to note
beginner kayakers are welcome, , what's great about small tours is the personal attention and hands on learning!!! Gratuity is not included but very much appreciated!
Kayak the Mangroves on Lido Key
You will meet your guides at Ted Sperling Park, the launch site for the famous Lido Mangrove Tunnels. After a short explanation of the equipment and the paddle, we will launch and practice our skills in a beautiful, shallow bay. Depending on weather conditions, we may paddle to the channel with a goal of paddling with manatees and dolphins. If we do come across them, we will keep our distance and watch them play and frolic. Occasionally, manatees will be curious and will swim up to us. It is such a special experience. Next up, we will head to the mangrove tunnels. We may take a short break at a private beach to stretch our legs before we head into the maze of mangrove tunnels. Your guides will help you navigate the tunnels, pointing out exotic wildlife as you pass. Everyone loves when finding giant hermit crabs and seastars along the way. After paddling though the tunnels and to the hidden lagoon, we will head back to the launch. Your hosts will text photos of your adventure for you to share with friends and family.
Other things to note
Kids welcome from age 3 and up. Kayaks and paddleboards can be combined on the same tour. If you need a different date, contact us at info@surfitusa.com or call 941-952-8245. We love family groups!

Tour/Graze Backyard Food Forest on Lido Key
Come with me and explore all the corners of my small-scale food forest. We live in a world filled with the tastes and textures of many foods that most people around the country have never heard of. I can pick a salad from my garden any day of the year, because I grow tropical vegetables. Have you tried Malabar spinach, longevity spinach, or cactus paddles? I love to share what I know about all the foods I grow (including tropical fruit) and how I grow them. Despite the numerous and voracious pests that call Florida home, I grow all this without herbicides or pesticides.
Other things to note

E-Bike Myakka State Park Wildlife Tour
Situated just 9 miles East of Siesta Key, Myakka River State Park is a sprawling wildlife wonderland that epitomizes "Old Florida" beauty. Our beaches are undeniably breathtaking but most locals will agree: Myakka is a must! On this E-bike adventure we are pretty much guaranteed to see tons of alligators (from a safe distance), deer, numerous types of birds and plant life and possibly even wild boar! My favorite attraction, the canopy walk, allows you to walk on a suspension bridge thru the tree tops to the other end where you can go up another 40 ft., leading you to the most jaw-dropping view you'll encounter this trip.
We meet in the parking lot just past the ranger's station (immediately to your left) near the park's entrance (13208 St. Rd. 72) but from there our options are endless! Smooth paved trails, grassy savanna, swampy marsh, nice and easy beginner trails up to a bit more rugged, off the beaten path trails, Myakka has it all! Our bikes average about 40-55 miles per battery charge so we are able to see more of the park than you'd be able to get to otherwise. We provide plenty of photos so this is sure to be an experience you won't soon forget!
Other things to note
We've thought of pretty much anything you could need! There is a $5 per car park admission fee that is not included but goes to a great cause.
