    Best shelling experience.

    Laurie_C, Apr 2026
    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.

    Taylor was great. Beautiful Day on the Water.

    Great experience for our family of (5) - we have (3) teenagers who all had a great time kayaking, exploring, and shelling.

    Really great kayaking tour

    Taylor was an absolutely wonderful guide on our kayaking trip to Shell Key. Not only was she prepared and flexible for different types of weather, she was knowledgeable about the waters, the wildlife, the shells, etc. She engaged both my kids and even towed one when he was too tired to keep paddling! I would book with Taylor again in a heartbeat. She was truly GREAT!

    A fun excursion with a great guide and tons of treasure!

    Taylor was amazing! She helped us navigate the tides to Shell Key and was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved spending time with her! She was great with my daughter and even helped her find some special new treasures. It was a fabulous excursion!
