Shell Key Preserve Kayak Tour Trip Details
Our guided kayak tours of the Shell Key Preserve are approximately 3 hours and a great way to explore our coastal environment and spend time on Shell Key Island. We focus exclusively on small groups and private tours. These small group tours offer our guests the most personalized experience and best wildlife viewing opportunities. These trips are offered year-round and highlight all of the local ecosystems. We will explore mangrove tunnels (Tides Permitting), shallow seagrass meadows, protected bays, and take a break on the island for swimming, shelling, or just relaxing. This beautiful coastal habitat is home to osprey, dolphins, nesting sea turtles, manatees, and a variety of local and migratory shorebirds. It is a great area to see the natural side of Florida. We look forward to having you join us for a kayak tour at one of our favorite local spots to paddle in St Pete.
