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 such a great time on our tour! We were able to kayak at our own pace with our two kids and still had close to an hour in shell key. Doug was so knowledgeable and taught us a ton about the wildlife, mangrove tunnels and the area. The small group (ours was just the four of us and our tour guide) is perfect t if you’re worried about social distancing. It was the perfect way to spend my son’s 10th bday! We’ll be back next year. And an added bonus was Doug taking pics for us along the way which he sent to us!

This was such a wonderful experience! Doug was a great guide and you don't really need any kayaking experience as it is not strenuous at all. The equipment was all well maintained and he even had some extra water and snacks when we stopped at Shell Key. Our children (12 & 14) enjoyed it just as much as we did and we all learned new things! You really can't go wrong with this tour and I highly recommend it!

This was our second time going on the tour and it was just as awesome the second time! We brought our family who were visiting and they loved it too...it is now a must-do activity when we have friends and family in town! Doug, Ross, and Brian are so awesome. They give a fantastic tour filled with so much information about the area and wildlife. 10 out of 10 WILL do again! :)
