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.

I went with my 4 year old daughter and had a great time. It was kid friendly and we enjoyed seeing everything from dolphins to jellyfish. Our guide Chris was excellent and very friendly. They kayaks were in great condition and very clear.

This was a fabulous tour. Allesia was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and super kid friendly. Our 6 year old has lots of questions and loads of energy and she was great with both. We highly recommend!
