My first time kayaking and Capt Yak made it such a memorable experience!

, Jun 2022
I had never been kayaking before, Capt Yak was a great teacher and patient with me on how to use the paddles. He was also very knowledgeable of the wildlife and history of the area. He also took pictures of my friends and I. I’m so glad I did this tour and will definitely schedule another one soon! I truly recommend this tour and Capt Yak, he made our experience great! :)
Such a great experience!!...

Such a great experience!! Highly recommended!!!
Capt Yak had a lot of knowledge to share with everyone.
We seen birds that swam in the water beside us!
The man-coves were so cool to go through as well.
Shell Key is beautiful experience as well! Swam and looked for shells.
Beautiful and Peaceful

Capt Yak was funny, informative, and fun to be around. We learned so many things about the area and it's wildlife. Going through the Mangrove tunnels and exploring at Shell Key was my favorite! It was a very peaceful and beautiful trip. We were able to spend more time exploring and really getting close to nature than we would have on a charter boat.
Amazing Kayaking Trip!!!

It was such a good day! So glad we decided to do this! We saw so much marine life. Capt. Jason was so knowledgeable of the ocean and marine life. We saw some dolphins and much more. This experience will never be forgotten. Will come back someday and do again! Highly recommend for all ages!
Great value, great for relatively athletic wildlife lovers

Pros: Comfortable kayak, great scenery, good amount of wildlife: saw cormorants diving under our kayaks because our rowing stirs up fish, saw some ibises, Capt Yak was knowledgeable and showed us several sea creatures that he found in the water: jellyfish, conches, etc. Kayaking through mangrove forests was awesome!
Cons: started and finished 20min late due to people arriving late, including one staff member. We had arrived early as instructed so we had to wait quite a bit. Only had about 20min on the island, would’ve appreciated around 30-40min. No bathrooms just lots of trees. Our athletic friends did fine, non-athletic friends were struggling a bit to keep up with the rowing.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Thank you for booking, the review and your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the tour, the wildlife and comfortable kayaks. We do only spend about 20 minutes on the Island on the tour. If you ever come back contact me and you can rent kayaks and make you way out to Shell Key and spend more time there. Private Tours can also be booked and customized.
It is rare that we leave late and I do apologize for that.
Hope to see you again.

Our tour with Captain Yak was so memorable! He was very patient and knowledgeable about sea life and Florida history. The mangroves were so unique. We’re definitely coming back again and next time we’ll take the sunset tour!

Wonderful day on the water with fantastic guides!! We had such a good time leaning about the mangroves, and the mix of sun and shade was perfect!
Great staff and funny trip.

What an adventure!!

This was so much fun and very much so of a workout. This is not the weak! The Mangroves were okay but a little tight to get through. The depth of water was not bad either (about waist level at the highest) only thing is that I wish we were provided with a light snack. Make sure you bring water shoes and some snacks for energy source! YOU WILL NEED IT. Would do with a older child but I’m not sure if a little kid would be up for the challenge. (Maybe in double kayak but not a single). My husband and I were happy we did it but very much sore the next day. Thanks again captain yak!!

This was such a fun experience. Captain Yak was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We saw dolphins, welks, conchs, and crabs. Captain Yak was very patient with two 10 year old rambunctious boys who had lots of questions and wanted to see EVERYTHING!
Perfect trip

Our family had a great time with Capt. Yak tours, he was very friendly and provided local wildlife information. Would definitely recommended to others.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
