シェリング＆シュノーケルカヤックツアー-シェルキー-セントピート

What a great way to spend the afternoon! I will admit, I was a bit hesitant about this trip being in my 50s and not exactly in shape, but I need not have worried! Our little group of six was very well taken care of - our guide made sure everyone was comfortable and could travel at their own pace, yet she managed to keep us together as a group. The mangrove tunnels were beautiful, and a nice change of pace to rowing on the open water. Bring lots of water, you will definitely need it, and maybe a small snack (power bar) to enjoy at the beach when you take the break to relax for a bit. I would highly recommend this adventure to someone looking for something fun on the water!

Honestly the best tour I’ve ever done!!! Paddled 3 and a half mile through beautiful mangrove tunnels, mangrove coasts, and shorelines. Saw plenty wildlife and found so many cute shells at the island. The tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, would tell us the history of the islands, little fun facts about the wildlife, and any techniques for kayaking. As someone who’s never kayaked before, this was still incredibly easy and fun!!!

Really nice kayaks with great back support, excellent and thoughtful guides. On the way out these adorable Cormorants stuck with us and kept diving under the boat, which was really cool. Taylor showed us a whole bunch of different snails and birds and water creatures on the way and near the island. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys kayaking or SUP!

Really nice kayak tour with a well informed guide, who showed us really big beautiful live shells from the water and told us about the wildlife in the area. She even took us on a mangrove-tour just to show us how beautiful it is! Lots of birds swimming around and under the kayaks, they were so cute! Even saw dolphins too, and they came really close! Found beautiful shells at the beach. I highly recommend this tour.

This is the tour!! Absolutely loved this tour, shell key is amazing so the area is great. We got to see lots of birds, fish, crabs and even a dolphin with her little kid up close. We got to take a shortcut through the beautiful mangrove and found lots of cool shells. I would call this the complete package for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. Our guide Taylor was supernice and took pictures of our journey free of charge. She actually made our experience soo much better. 5 * just for her effort.

That if you have never kayak before the water can be a little hard to paddle with the wind. It's not like going down a river.

Local Tide Tours was very professional. It was easy to book online. When I called with questions, I spoke directly with the guide. Taylor was very upfront about weather conditions and very courteous with requests. While on the tour, Taylor explained the history of the area and included great detail about the mangroves, wildlife, and sea creatures. Our group consisted of teenagers, a college student, and middle-aged women, and the pace was perfect. This kayaking and shell collecting experience was a highlight of our Florida trip! I would definitely recommend Taylor and Local Tide Tours!

This trip was so much fun! Taylor was an excellent t guide and the spot that she took us was breathtaking! I love the mangroves as well-nature at its best.

This was an awesome experience made special by Taylor’s knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend any of her tours. We will come again!

We had an incredible experience with Local Tides! Our tour guide, Taylor, took us shelling at shell keys and kayaking through the mangroves and was extremely knowledgeable. I learned so many new things along the way, and the whole experience was both fun and educational. Highly recommend Local Tides for an unforgettable adventure!
