Kayak Tour at Shell Key with Capt Yak

Overview

Veteran Owned.
This 3 hour guided tour will take you through a vital eco-system known as Shell Key Preserve.
Having conducted field research through out the world and working at various US Zoos for nearly 30 years, Capt Yak has acquired a vast amount of knowledge regarding the animal and plant life you will encounter.
You will paddle with ease on the some of the most comfortable and best paddling Sit-on-top single or tandem kayaks.
We will venture through mangrove tunnels, over beds of seagrasses and sandbars while encountering wildlife. Midway we will stop on Shell Key. You can take a stroll, swim, find that perfect shell or just relax and take in the surroundings.
On the return trip Capt Yak will continue to share his knowledge and you will be mesmerized by the stories he shares with you.
We have multiple departure times daily that vary between 9:00am-3:00pm based on tides and weather.

This was so much fun and very much so of a workout. This is not the weak! The Mangroves were okay but a little tight to get through. The depth of water was not bad either (about waist level at the highest) only thing is that I wish we were provided with a light snack. Make sure you bring water shoes and some snacks for energy source! YOU WILL NEED IT. Would do with a older child but I’m not sure if a little kid would be up for the challenge. (Maybe in double kayak but not a single). My husband and I were happy we did it but very much sore the next day. Thanks again captain yak!!

Thank you for booking and the review! I am sorry you felt it to be a workout. Some days can be harder because of the wind and yes this time of the year with the lower tide levels some of the tunnels can be narrow. Hope you come and try it again. Greg Capt Yak

This was such a fun experience. Captain Yak was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We saw dolphins, welks, conchs, and crabs. Captain Yak was very patient with two 10 year old rambunctious boys who had lots of questions and wanted to see EVERYTHING!
