Beautiful Sunset and Great Kayaking - This tour exceeded my expectations! My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful time. We watched a beautiful sunset on Shell Key, picked up some shells while we were there, then kayaked around the preserve and through mangroves when it got dark. Our guide Raven was exceptional in knowledge and personality. We, along with the rest of our group, had so much fun with her. She took pictures for us, found a bunch of sea creatures for us to see when it got dark, and explained history of the area as we traveled through. She even found me some sand dollars! It was a beautiful, calm night so we even stayed out longer on our tour to explore. The lights in the kayaks were a wonderful plus and made the experience that much better! We are 100% planning on coming back again and bringing more family, hopefully with Raven as our guide. I could not recommend this experience more!
