The Coastal Island Tour is consistently reviewed as an absolutely unforgettable adventure! Dolphins, manatees, birds, and a huge variety of marine critters are the highlights of this tour and our expert guides know just where to spot them. We are the only paddling outfitter with access to this spectacular area in the clear waters between Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key - come enjoy it with us! This excursion is perfect for families, couples, and individuals with any level of paddling experience.
The tour is normally about three hours, and we paddle about as many miles. We'll stop at either the sandbar or the beach to stretch our legs at the half-way point. We'll proceed at your pace and you'll see that it's pretty relaxed. You'll be challenged only up to the point you're comfortable with. We've been doing this for many years now, and we're pretty good at gauging how everyone is feeling out there. We're trained naturalists, natives to the island, and certified instructors as well.

The story of Happy Paddler Kayak Tours is all about chasing happiness! We are Shane and Holly and forever grateful to have been born and raised in beautiful Florida. We’ve spent our days jumping off docks into Sarasota Bay, watching coquinas bury themselves into lumps of beach sand, and (of course!) paddling the gorgeous waters of Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island.
Adventures on the water have always been part of our daily lives growing up on the barrier islands of Sarasota Bay. When we migrated to the Florida Keys in 2006, we spent most of our days SCUBA diving, kayaking, and snorkeling. Both of us had dream jobs while living in the Keys… Holly worked as marine fisheries biologist and Shane was a sea turtle veterinary assistant at the Turtle Hospital. We took every opportunity to mix in some kayak time throughout each work day. In fact, our “professional” life behind the paddle really took off in the Florida Keys. We paddled countless miles around the patch reefs, mangrove islands,
