About
The 50/50 Shell Key Kayak Tour is 50% kayaking, 50% nature, and 100% ideal for people who want it all. You get two expert guides who are also the owners, Scott & Karissa, to navigate you through the 1880 acres of Shell Key Preserve, including the mangrove tunnels (tide permitting) and time your adventure just right to give you the best possible chance at seeing dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife who only visit the area at certain times. You also will have time to explore the island of Shell Key, whether that means shelling, swimming, snorkeling, or simply enjoying the view. It’s truly the best of both worlds!
Keep in mind our tours take place in a shallow saltwater preserve, which is part of the intracoastal waterway. We do not kayak in the open gulf. We are the only company that uses stable, comfortable sit-inside recreational touring kayaks with backrests, which makes for a better overall experience. There are no alligators, and most of the water is knee to waist-deep; perfect for both beginners and experts. Children 3 and older are welcome, and anyone under 12 must be in a tandem with an adult. Some of our tandem kayaks have an optional 3rd seat for small children, which can be selected while making your reservation.
