Shells from Sarasota's Own Sand-Dollar Island

With Siesta Key Sea Turtle Nature Tours, every encounter with dolphins and manatees becomes a story worth telling. Our expert guides know the hidden coves, grass flats, and mangrove channels where these incredible animals thrive, giving you the best chance for up-close (yet respectful) viewing. Whether it’s a pod of dolphins weaving through the wake or a gentle manatee rising for air just feet from the boat, you’ll witness Florida’s marine life in its purest form. These moments—unscripted, wild, and wondrous—are the heart of what makes our tours unforgettable.
