If you'd like to try your hand at kayaking, you can try the one base at the Mote Aquarium - Sarasota Bay Explorers. The service uses a boat to ferry kayakers to a marine sanctuary. Here you're given an opportunity to kayak through mangrove tunnels. Alternatively, you can choose to take a leisure cruise on the Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico aboard the Enterprise. Watersports activities are popular in front of all major hotels on the keys.
