SUP Englewood is a paddlesports company in Florida that was established in 2012. Today, it is where you can find some of the best guided paddle board and kayaking tours in the area.
Even if you don’t have any experience on a paddle board or kayak, you can still hop on the water and explore. Experts will provide instruction before every rental and tour to ensure you have a safe and fun adventure.
While there are multiple tour options available, Don Pedro Island State Park is one adventure that you will not want to miss. This eco-tour will take you through this remarkable Florida state park while on a kayak or paddle board.
The tour is approximately four hours and begins at the Don Pedro Island State Park land base. On this tour, you will paddle to a remote beach, spend time swimming and fossil hunting for shark teeth, and even enjoy a picnic lunch under a pavilion.
Don’t be surprised if you meet a few friends along the way. It isn’t uncommon to spot dolphins and manatees on these tours and sometimes, these creatures will even come up to say hi.
SUP Englewood is certified in the Guardian Guide Program through Save the Manatee Club. This means they do everything they can to educate the public on the best practices for paddling with manatees.
On these tours, SUP Englewood works hard to protect the land and wildlife. All participants are asked not to spray sunscreen or bug spray while in the tunnel.
Venturing through Don Pedro Island State Park isn’t the only place where you can explore with SUP Englewood. Another popular tour option includes exploring the Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail on the island of Boca Grande.
