Clear Kayak Tour of Shell Key Preserve and Tampa Bay Area

Clear Kayak Tour of Shell Key Preserve and Tampa Bay Area

Overview

Adventure through Shell Key Preserve in your 100% clear kayak! See crystal-clear water, diverse marine life, and the underwater world below your clear kayak.

You’ll paddle along mangroves, enjoy white sand beaches and sandbars, and explore a secluded beach. If the tide is high, your guide will lead the way through a hidden mangrove tunnel. Shell Key Preserve is located in Tierra Verde, FL near St. Pete Beach in the Tampa Bay area.

Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, manatees, pelicans, crabs, and more while enjoying the preserve’s picturesque mangroves, beaches, and sandbars. Be on the lookout for a manatee or the beautiful pink Roseate Spoonbills in the summer months. White Pelicans call the sandbars of Shell Key Preserve their home during the winter months! Throughout the year, dolphins frolic in the crystal-clear waters and cormorants love to swim alongside your kayak. Chances are that you’ll see a variety of wildlife, but sightings are random and not guaranteed.

Alesia was our guide, she was great! She gave us instructions about kayaking. She was knowledgeable about sea life and she would explain what we saw and the characteristics of the sea life. Loved the White Pelicans and learning about their size and migration. Alesia took photos of us,it was nice not having to try and take photos! Glad I attended Fall Fest at Honeymoon Island, The young man there was confident I would be able to kayak. It was so much fun.can’t wait to go again!

We had so much fun! Chris was our guide and his excitement for the wildlife and his helpfulness made the experience that much better. We are well acquainted with kayaking lakes in the Midwest but we learned so much about the area and the differences! Definitely recommend!
