We rented kayaks and paddle boards for our 2 week stay. The staff were helpful and friendly and we had a great time using them every day during our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Local, knowledgeable and patient. Online reservations are easy. Its close to the island and Bradenton. Had a last minute surprise and were greeted by a momma and baby Manatee.

Amazing amazing experience! The guides are super friendly and knowledgeable. We saw starfish, jellyfish, birds, mangrove crabs, and they took us to see manatees! They are wonderful about getting photos of us and helping if we have any issues. Our 4 year old stared getting a little overheated and one of the guides got off his paddleboard to help give him a dip in the water to cool off. We highly highly recommend this kayak and paddleboard company!

Had a great kayak tour! Perfect length to keep our kids engaged but not too long. Saw dolphins swimming in a pod, cormorants fishing under our kayaks, and little critters in the mangroves. We kayaked but others on the tour were on paddle boarding so you can chose either and still stay together.

We had a great time on our guided kayak tour of the Neal Preserve. Andrew the guide was great! We saw a pod of dolphins and apparently there are a couple of birds who join every tour to take advantage of the fish that are riled up by the paddling ?

Best mangrove tour I've been on in Anna Maria. Chill and knowledgeable guides. Went with 4 other friends kayaking, equipment was kept up with/looked new. The wild life was everywhere and we were able to get up close. A trip to remember for sure

Our am SUP/Kayak tour with AMI Adventures was a pleasant outing. It started off with my husband and me being the only clients and so we had a private tour. The day was perfect and we enjoyed our time immensely. Super knowledgeable and skillful guides.

We had a beautiful morning kayaking/paddle boarding through the mangroves. It was nice to see the island from a different perspective and appreciate the calmness of the bay waters. Andrew and Ben were great in sharing facts about the island and aquatic life. Our family had a great AMI morning!

Our family of 5 loved this experience and definitely recommend it! Andrew and Garrison were the best and extremely patient with 2 of my boys that were trying the SUP as beginners (and a 3rd that was a relatively new kayaker). It was such a relaxing and beautiful couple of hours. I also appreciated that they took photos and posted them on the Facebook page to share with us.

Andrew and Garrison were greatt tour guides! They took their time explaining everything and helped make for a great afternoon! Andrew knew alot about the island, and takes his time with new kayakers! I would highly recommend AMI Paddleboard and Kayak!

Fun guides tours through the mangroves and a bit of a wildlife too. The osprey photo is one example. Our guide, Andrew, the owner of AMI, was also terrific helping families with young children. So, the tour is very family friendly! Andrew took a number of great photos which he shared via Facebook.

We had a great time touring the mangroves. The equipment was all in good condition. The two guides were knowledgeable and fun. I used a paddleboard and BF used a kayak. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested.

Awesome experience. Absolutely a must do activity when staying in the area. Andrew was fantastic. It was my wife's first time kayaking. He made her feel very at ease and comfortable before we headed out on the water. He was very informative and fun! The mangroves are beautiful. The water was crystal clear. We saw a bunch of local wildlife and creatures including a brief glimpse of a dolphin, cormorants, lightning and crown conchs, starfish and horseshoe crab. Thanks again, Andrew!
