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.

BOOK THIS TOUR!! I booked this with my son's, 11,13, and my 13 yr old niece. We had a blast. The kids enjoyed being in their own kayak and learning about the different birds, mangroves, fish, and the area from DOUG, our AWESOME guide. We stayed at Shell Island a little longer b/c red tide kept some of the people in our group out of the water and off the beach where they were staying, so he let them swim and enjoy the beach longer then we should have (amazing). Before we set out on the water, he told us some basic kayaking skills and continued to help along the way. He also took a bunch of pictures of us and texted them later, which was an added bonus! If you enjoy being on the water and in nature, then BOOK THIS TOUR!! Thanks again Doug!
