This was our second trip with Coastal Kayak Tours and it was just as amazing as the first trip! Our Guide Taylor was awesome, she was knowledgeable and informative about the marine life and the Shell Key Preserve. She took us through the mangrove tunnels and to Shell Key beach to explore the waters and marine life on our own for a short time. We will be back next year! Thank you Taylor!This was our 3rd trip with Coastal Kayak, and we have never been disappointed! This year's trip was led by Brian and we enjoyed his knowledge and his sense of humor. The trip was nicely paced and our favorite part was paddling through the mangroves.

Taylor was an amazing guide for an incredible day on the gulf coast! Within the first 2 minutes a dolphin popped up right next to my kayak, just a few minutes later, we kayaked right over a group of five manatees. A massive sting ray was spotted as well! The mangrove tunnels were beautiful, the pace was smooth and Taylor was a great guide. She also gave some great advice for other local activities. We will go again the next time we are in the area.This is by far the best kayaking tour around here. Taylor was our personal guide today. She was so fun and adventurous. We got to go off the “beaten” path and we loved every minute of it. She even got me a gigantic sand dollar out of the grassy much. I am so glad we had Taylor. I hope we get her ...
