Such a great experience!! Highly recommended!!! Capt Yak had a lot of knowledge to share with everyone. We seen birds that swam in the water beside us! The man-coves were so cool to go through as well. Shell Key is beautiful experience as well! Swam and looked for shells.

Capt Yak was funny, informative, and fun to be around. We learned so many things about the area and it's wildlife. Going through the Mangrove tunnels and exploring at Shell Key was my favorite! It was a very peaceful and beautiful trip. We were able to spend more time exploring and really getting close to nature than we would have on a charter boat.
