Beautiful views going through the tunnels and the shell beach was amazing. A little bit of work out was nice too.

Our tour guy Rick was great! Very informative and knowledgeable as we learned many new things about natures creatures. The shell beach water was gorgeous and definitely the highlight of the tour. Thanks again for an amazing kayak experience!!!
Potential was there but company ruined it!

Our guide, Ben, was great but we booked two reservations and we’re made to go tandem because there were not enough kayaks. The company overbooked and we paid the price. My husband and I are experienced kayakers and DO NOT like tandem. Will not use this service again for that reason. Bait and switch. Book carefully.

Shell beach was amazing. Our tour guide was Charlie and he really made our visit spectacular. Charlie explained everything and stood with us the whole way through. I would definitely recommend this tour. Next time I want to go at night.
Clear Kayak Fun!

Hands down this was my favorite experience while vacationing in St. Pete’s! Tour guide was great and super knowledgeable about the creatures and the waters we were traveling through. I loved that the kayaks were clear and we could see everything. Shell island was also super cool to stop at and explore.
Fantastic Experience!
