Small Group Kayak Tour of the Shell Key Preserve

Overview

Join Coastal Kayak Charters for a small group guided kayak tour of the Shell Key Preserve. We are St Pete's top rated kayak tour company and focus exclusively on small groups and private tours. Our trips offer more personalized service and better wildlife viewing opportunities while out on the water. We will explore hidden mangrove tunnels (tides permitting), shallow seagrass meadows, and stop on Shell Island for time to swim, look for shells, or just relax and enjoy the beach. Our tours are designed for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. We use stable user friendly kayaks that provide a great paddling experience. We primarily use double kayaks unless you have an odd number in your group. If you prefer single kayaks they are available through our website. Come explore with local professionals who love what they do and see the difference for yourself.

We had a great time! Our guide Spencer was awesome! He is very knowledgeable and entertaining! The mangrove forest was really neat! We saw numerous starfish and jellyfish. The highlight for us was dolphins swimming very close by as we approached the beach/island. Along the way we had fun friendly ducks (can’t remember the name) that swam along with us. I definitely would recommend doing this. 5 Stars for sure!!!

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful kayak trip with us:) The cormorants (swimming birds) are such a treat to have along on the tour. We look forward to another adventure on your next visit to St Pete.
