Explore Shell Key by Kayak - Tours from $55
Hi, I’m Scott, owner and guide at Island Kayak Tours. Along with my partner, Karissa, we operate a local family-owned kayaking company where we always guide our own tours together. We are the only company with 2 guides for your safety and comfort. Our specialty is guided eco kayak adventures. We keep them affordable at $55 per person because we believe in the pay it forward philosophy.
Growing up here in St. Petersburg has given me a lifetime of experience and knowledge in Shell Key Preserve. Let us share it with you. Come out and experience one of our favorite kayaking spots so we can give you a true Florida experience, something other kayak companies just can’t do. Get a sneak peek by checking out some of our photos and videos.
We launch from a public launch site in Tierra Verde, Florida, centrally located approximately 15 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, and 10 minutes from St. Pete Beach. We keep our groups small in order to give you the best, most personalized experience possible. Help us make kayaking with Island Kayak Tours one of the most popular things to do in the Tampa Bay area by booking your adventure now!
