Explore the Natural Beauty of Neil Preserve with Glow Boats Clear Kayak tours.
Paddling at Neil Preserve is a rewarding experience for all skill levels. Begin your journey from the northern Land Base, just before the Manatee Avenue drawbridge leading to the breathtaking shores of Anna Maria Island Sound. Along the way, immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of the area, where an abundance of marine life and lush mangrove forests await exploration.
Common wildlife sightings include birds, dolphins, manatees, fish, live snails, crab and sea stars. The seagrass beds that blanket the waters between the preserve and the mangrove tunnels provide a habitat for a variety of marine creatures, from the smallest shrimp and crabs to large game fish and stingrays.
Mangrove ecosystems are not only visually striking but also essential to the health of the environment. As you paddle beneath the protective canopy of the mangroves, take in the intricate root systems that serve as shelter and breeding grounds for diverse wildlife. Keep an eye out for snowy egrets, little blue herons, green herons, ibises, and the striking roseate spoonbills.
Kayaking offers a peaceful and immersive way to connect with nature, providing opportunities for close-up wildlife encounters in a serene setting. Experience the beauty of Neil Preserve like never before.
