Best kayaking experience in Tampa - My boyfriend and I went on couples sunset kayaking tour. Jesse was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and kind, he answered all questions and kept a good pace, making sure everyone kept up! The sunset was beyond beautiful and so romantic, we even were lucky enough to see the dolphins!! 100/10 recommend, if you go ask for Jesse!!

Family kayaking with teens - We had the best kayaking experience at Shell Key with our guide Less. Less explained everything very well, had lots of knowledge of the area and wildlife. We saw dolphins, lots of birds and the mangrove tunnel was so cool. We found lots of shells and enjoyed every minute of the experience! Highly recommend!

A must do experience - We had a wonderful evening with a very knowledgeable guide, Raven, exploring the ecosystem of Tampa bay and Shell Key Preserve. We are locals and enjoyed being a tourist in our own city. I would definitely recommend this trip to visitors and locals alike!
