Two hours of paddling in a clear kayak through Shell Key Preserve, with chances to see dolphins and manatees in this vibrant marine environment.
This two-hour guided kayak tour takes you through Shell Key Preserve, located in Tierra Verde, just near St. Pete Beach. You navigate in clear kayaks, allowing for an unobstructed view of marine life below as you paddle through mangroves and across sandy beaches and sandbars.
Look out for local wildlife, including dolphins, manatees, and a variety of bird species like pelicans and Roseate Spoonbills during their respective seasons. If the tide permits, your guide may lead you through a unique mangrove tunnel. Bring sunscreen and prepare for a leisurely yet adventurous exploration of this coastal preserve.

I traveled with two other women in our 40s, and we enjoyed a wonderful and calming experience. Our guide Hannah was both fun and well-informed about the local area and its wildlife. We even spotted two manatees. I highly recommend it.
The kayaking tour in the morning was fantastic! We encountered a lot of wildlife, including manatees. Our guide Hannah was incredibly friendly and well-informed.
Hannah was an outstanding tour guide who provided detailed answers to all my questions. Her positive vibe was infectious, and she even pointed out manatees during the tour.
Alessia is an excellent tour guide. She possesses a wealth of knowledge and dedicated time to share valuable information about the natural attractions we encountered during the kayaking tour.
An incredible experience, and our guide Hannah was fantastic. I would highly recommend this kayaking adventure.
Ben was an excellent guide—he provided a wealth of knowledge and kept things entertaining throughout the experience.
We had a fantastic experience! Ben was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous. The route through the mangroves was impressive, and we especially enjoyed swimming at the secluded beach and searching for shells. Plus, we spotted manatees near the dock when we returned.
The tour was fantastic; we encountered manatees and dolphins and had ample time to stroll along the beach. Our guide Ben was excellent and extremely knowledgeable.
I've done this adventure twice now, and I absolutely love it. As a beginner who had never kayaked before last year, I appreciate how the guides put you at ease and teach you to navigate. The small group size is great for newcomers. Last year, Alexia was my guide and she was fantastic; this year, Ben was just as excellent. Exploring the mangroves and Shell Key Preserve is truly stunning. You don't need to be an expert to enjoy this. I highly recommend it.
I had an enjoyable experience. Jenna, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day truly memorable.
