My husband and I had an amazing time on the guided kayaking tour in Shell Key Preserve! The breathtaking scenery made for an unforgettable adventure, and our knowledgeable and friendly guides, Tracey and Kristy, enriched the experience with educational facts. While the clear kayaks were harder to maneuver and keep on course in windy conditions, the overall adventure was still thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

We did the clear kayak tour with Raina. We had so much fun and Raina was awesome. Going through the mangrove trees was my favorite part.

We liked the mangrove tunnels they were beautiful but there was some trouble with the weather not their fault though. And the staff were very nice and helpful to a beginner!

Our clear kayak cruise was phenomenal! Our tour guide, Tracy was so wonderful! She had so much knowledge & fun facts to share about the area making our tour so memorable! Our favorite part was exploring the mangroves & the mullet birds who swam alongside us. We even spotted a dolphin with her 2 babies in the distance. Highly recommend!

Overall very nice tour & our guide was knowledgeable & super nice. Going through the mangroves was a neat experience. The clear kayaks are a bit hard to maneuver compared to normal kayaks. The website stated possible sightings of dolphins and/or manatees but the area of the tour is way too shallow for that to happen so that was misleading.

Alivia and Justice were fantastic guides who knew the area very well and shared several historical factoids, making this kayak trip so interesting! Seeing a dolphin, several fish, crabs and cormorants swimming by - and under - us was wonderful fun. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves water and wildlife.

Olivia was an excellent tour guide! She had so many fun facts about the area, and was extremely personable. The pit stop at the island was a special treat and the mangrove tunnels were freaking awesome! We had a group of ducks follow up the whole way and even saw a group of dolphins. Would 100% do this over again!!
