During this guided kayak tour, you will paddle in the waters off Tampa Bay in crystal clear kayaks. After you check-in, you will be given basic paddle instructions and information about the tour, which will last two to two-and-a-half hours depending on the speed of the group. During the first half of the paddle, you will travel alongside mangroves with the first stop in a mangrove tunnel (tide permitting). The second half of the kayak tour will be a paddle to Shell Key to see sandbars and the beach. Along the way, your guide will share unique facts about the area during several stopping points. The tour will conclude with a paddle along the wildlife sanctuary to catch a glimpse of some native coastal birds.
