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.

Highly recommend this kayak tour. Brian, our guide, was very knowledgeable. We toured several mangrove tunnels, saw a few dolphins, several jellyfish, and a flock of white Pelicans. We also had the chance to see the sunset at the end of the tour. The equipment is very good and I was able to accelerate quickly when I saw the dolphins. I preferred this equipment over the clear kayaks. Great way to spend the afternoon.

A great (social distancing) activity for our small group! Spencer, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made the trip very fun! Even with the high winds, we had a great time! Highly recommend for the adventurous types!! Note: you are paddling for close to 2 1/2 hours, if kayaking “isn’t your thing” I would suggest a shorter excursion.

Thank you for joining us for some kayaking here in St Pete! We really appreciate the great review and are thrilled you had a great time. Due to the higher winds it was definitely a bit more adventurous for your trip but we are happy you were able to enjoy it:) Thanks again & safe travels.
