I loved visiting Shell Key Shoal. The views were so pretty and the 3 hours went by fast. I loved learning about the wildlife. Captain Yak was very outgoing and friendly. He was very knowledgable about the mangroves and the jellyfish. I realized how important this ecosystem is for Florida. Highly recommend!
