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.

Jada was so informative and made sure we saw the urchins and starfish that were there due to the recent storm. Her love for the nature came through and made it a better experience. She knew the different types of shells, talked about her favorite bird that was all around us swimming and eating fish right next to us. Relaxing, fun way to spend a couple of hours 👍🏼😀

Thank you for joining us on a clear kayak adventure! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great time learning about all of the local wildlife from Jada, and even got to see her favorite bird-the cormorant! We hope you'll join us for another paddle sometime soon!
