Stop At: Tierra Verde, Tierra Verde, Florida
Tours take place in Shell Key Preserve. As a native Floridian, I will guide you through the backcountry of the preserve. Through shallow grassy meadows we go, watching fish jump and birds hunt; all the while, ducking through the mangrove tunnels (tide permitting) and allowing time for pictures and explanations of the surrounding habitat. Most of the area we paddle in is typically only frequented by locals and is off-limits to motorized vessels.

We had an amazing time on this trip! Kayaking through the mangroves was an unforgettable experience. We had plenty of time to wander around shell key and hunt for shells. Scott was a great guide and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. One of the best tours we’ve done!

Scott was super knowledgeable about everything and you can sense his joy in sharing the area and teaching us about the geography and the wildlife. This tour was an incredible value as we learned a ton, had a great time, the cost was incredibly reasonable, and we were very happy to support a local small business.My girlfriend and I went on this guided tour.

Scott and Karissa were very knowledgeable of the history of the land and sea and pointed out all the wildlife. We saw Komarants, dolphins, a shark, many other birds and even a pigmy octopus.

This is our 2nd time on this adventure. We had a great day on the water filled with expert commentary on the surroundings and wildlife, sprinkled with just the right amount of personal stories and memories. The adventure provides just enough time on the island for shelling & swimming and a respite in the shade of the mangroves is a welcome bonus on the way back to the launch. The kayaking was easygoing even for beginners. The best part is that the guides are genuinely kind and want you to have the best possible experience. Loved it!This is the best kayak tour for the price. Scott and Carissa are so knowledgeable and I love how they add their personal experience! I’ve gone with them several times and it’s always such a fantastic day!
