Captain Yak (Greg) was informative and funny! The Shell Key protected wildlife preserve was gorgeous, teeming with a variety of sea birds. Our favorite was the white pelicans. They are such amazing aviators. Paddling through the mangrove tunnels was an unexpected blast. Highly recommended, this adventure was one of the highlights of our vacation!

Thank you and glad you enjoyed my humor:) The White Pelicans are amazing and I look forward to their arrival each year. The tunnels are my favorite part of the preserve to share. Greg Capt Yak
