This 3 hour guided tour will take you through a vital eco-system known as Shell Key Preserve.

Captain Yak was very kind and helpful. He knew everything about all the neat animals, birds, and sea creatures we encountered. I have kayaked prior but my daughter had not, he kept a nice slow pace and made sure everyone was okay several times. We did see some dolphins and other native species. It was a long trip and my arms are sore but it was beyond worth it. You get a deal with this and would encourage if you want to explore Florida more than just the beach.

I had never been kayaking before, Capt Yak was a great teacher and patient with me on how to use the paddles. He was also very knowledgeable of the wildlife and history of the area. He also took pictures of my friends and I. I’m so glad I did this tour and will definitely schedule another one soon! I truly recommend this tour and Capt Yak, he made our experience great! :)

Highly recommend Capt Yak. Really enjoyed this and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again. Info on the eco system with a sprinkle of history made this more than your typical kayak tour.
