Siesta Key Aqua Adventures - Sarasota, Florida

We had a great experience with Captain Andrew. Even though my husband and I were the only ones on our cruise night he still took us out. Making it such an enjoyable experience. we went though mangroves, saw beautiful homes and stopped at a sand bar. I was able to some amazing pictures of the sunset. I would highly recommend taking the sun set tiki boat tour.

Let me start by saying there was a storm before we came causing the water to be a brown color and we didn’t see a single dolphin (luck of the draw because of the storm). We did see a manatee!

With that said, my family travels all over the world and the states multiple times a year, and we have never had an experience like this. Andrew was the most incredible captain. Our daughter has bad ADHD and my mom has mobility issues which both made me weary of this. This did not disappoint. The steps to get in and out of the boat were perfect for my mom to be able to exit the boat safely. Andrew did wonderful with my daughter’s impulsions and overwhelming energy. He was knowledgeable and found special shells for my daughter. I would hands down recommend this to any and every one that asks for something to do in the Sarasota area. Great boats with nice seating. Just overwhelming happy with this little excursion. Needless to say Andrew’s demeanor and knowledge is what made the trip unforgettable! Not a single one of us even cared that the water was brown or we couldn’t see a dolphin because Andrew was what made the trip a success.

My family booked the Dolphin Tiki Boat Tour to Koko Island and the sandbar. We had an absolute blast - the captain was funny and pleasant, we saw dolphins, collected beautiful shells and sand dollars, and got up close with some other sea creatures. We would definition recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do!

We had Capitan Bryan for our sunset tiki cruise and it was great! It was my dads birthday and Bryan went above and beyond. I wasn’t even sure if anything for a birthday was able to be done, but he made my dad feel special and got him a couple extra treats. The tour itself was great; we were able to stop at a sandbar and find lots of cool shells, and then saw an AMAZING sunset. Definitely recommend

100% recommend!! Captain Andrew was wonderful! We took a private sunset cruise! Richard helped get us exactly what we asked for! The bartender in The Forbidden Tiki got us started and set us up with stuff for a cooler! Perfect for our family’s celebration of my dad’s birthday!

Loved Captain Drew! Very funny and knowledgeable. He knows what he’s doing! We got a tour of the mangroves, local birds, celebrities houses, and of course dolphins! I counted 5. We made two stops at an island and sand bank, so wear a swim suit and go find yourself a sand dollar! Last but not least, a gorgeous view of the sunset over the ocean. We sat and watched the sun go down to some excellent music. Highly recommend!!

No communication received back even after I could confirm that the message was received. Had to find out from someone working in the bar next door that he's not open for business due to hurricane related damage.
I can empathize with that, but then don't take reservations until you're ready to.
I hope you are back in business soon and things get back to a more normal level for you and yours.

Oh...now after the fact you can respond and give me an answer .... we heard you were very busy building new bars these days anyway. I think the hurricanes are the least of your problems if this is the way you conduct business.
Am I supposed to leave you a 5 star review after my cc has been charged and you can't even have the decency or common sense to let me know that you're not currently open due to hurricane related issues...what a piece of work.
I know you received my messages...multiple ones over various formats and you still can't contact me ahead of time to issue a refund...that's fraud.
P.S. the rest of the community down here has been very hospitable and welcoming, great interaction with everyone and every establishment we've been to. They've all had a tough go of it as well. It's on you for not seeing fit to respond until after having your feelings hurt by a one star review. If possible I'd change it to a negative star at this point.
People....you can judge for yourself what type of person this is and if you want to spend your money with this business or not. I cannot recommend it one bit.

We had a fantastic experience with Richard when renting three kayaks from him for the day last week. The creek leading to Siesta Key is really nice and it was adventurous going through the mangrove trails. We saw some beautiful houses and just loved being out there. We loved the flexibility of having as much time as we wanted with the kayaks and we really enjoyed lunch right across the way. We’d definitely return when in the area. Richard is so helpful & personable. Don’t hesitate when booking!
