Hi, I’m Orlando Cano, the founder of Paradise Adventures. When I moved to Sarasota, I instantly fell in love with the calm, sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay and the wild beauty of Lido Key. I created Paradise Adventures to share that same feeling with every guest who visits, whether it’s your first time in a kayak or you’re ready to explore like a local.
I offer Sarasota kayak tours and kayak rentals at Lido Key, including the unforgettable ride through the iconic mangrove tunnels. My goal is simple: to give you an amazing day on the water with the perfect mix of fun, safety, and local insight. You’ll get high-quality kayaks, Coast Guard-required safety gear, and friendly guidance that helps you feel confident from your very first paddle stroke.
No two tours are ever the same. Some days we glide through peaceful mangrove trails, other days dolphins cruise right beside us, and if we’re lucky, you might even spot a manatee in the wild. Join me for a guided mangrove tunnel tour, book a private experience, or rent a kayak and explore Sarasota Bay at your own pace.
At Paradise Adventures we believe there are places that are so amazing, they stay with you long after you’ve experienced them. We’re fortunate enough to call one of those places “home”. Although Sarasota’s white sand beaches get all the attention, the mangrove tunnels on Lido Key are Sarasota’s true hidden gem. We could not call ourselves Paradise Adventures if we were offering you anything less than our name implies.
At Paradise Adventures, our number one concern is making sure you have the time of your life on your kayak tours in Sarasota, Florida. We like to say that we handle everything for you except the actual kayaking. We provide fully equipped, top-notch kayaks, safety equipment, a laminated map of the area, and everything else you need to make some awesome memories with your family on the beautiful waters of Sarasota Bay.
