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.

This was a great experience. Finally we were away from the traffic and crowds, and able to see the natural beauty of this area. Our guide Ross is an experienced outdoorsman, knowledgeable and excited about sharing the local flora and fauna. He makes it interesting and fun. He’s also looking out for everyone the whole time. He’s very safety conscious. We saw lots of birds fishing up close to us, fish jumping high up out of the water, mangrove tunnels, a beautiful little sandy beach and even a dolphin. I don’t know how much Ross had to pay that dolphin to be there, but I really appreciate it.

What a great review Susan, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We are so happy to know you had such a good time. I hope your visit to St Pete was fantastic and that we have the opportunity to kayak with you again. Safe travels and have fun sailing this summer, Ross & Doug.

My friends and I were visiting for spring break and were completely blown away by this experience. Ross was insightful and fun and Doug had us laughing the whole time. They stayed with us after we returned to the launch site to make sure our Uber was safe and as we were leaving told us that if we need anything to let them know because “You all have friends in St. Pete now!”. We can’t wait to come back. It was worth every dime!
