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.

Doug, our guide, was terrific. He made our trip an adventure of the local mangrove habitats letting us know both natural and colorful local history. We went single file through a mangrove island spying tree crabs along the way. Paddled against a bit of wind at times, swam and found interesting shells on shell key, several dolphin and diving Kormorants. He took time to talk to all 7 of us making each feel special. Always positive and informative - would definitely recommend both the trip and our guide!

Our guide was so knowledgeable about the terrain, the weather, the wildlife, and the sport that I felt immediately safe yet he was also so humorous, witty, fun, and spontaneous that this truly felt like an adventure in which magical things could happen. And they did! We saw a mama dolphin swimming with her baby, we were graced with visits from manatees, we saw sea birds and fish in every direction. This tour was a highlight of our short week in Florida and something I would definitely recommend.
