What a fun way to experience the beautiful nature of Florida! Captain Yak did a great job of guiding us through the mangroves, across the waterways, and onto Shell Key Island. He did a great job educating us on the ecosystem, different birds, fish, and the dolphins we were blessed to see. 10 out of 10… highly recommended! Thanks Greg!

Such a great Kayak tour! Capt Yak is very laid back but knowledgeable in local wildlife and habitat which made the trip very fascinating.I am handicap but able to walk some and paddle alone, he was very patient and helpful. The water was so clear and the kayaks were comfortable as well, if you've ever used cheap kayaks you will appreciate his! Our excursion was to Shell Key, which has a sand bar and tons of shells, lliteral paradise, where we spent free time on the island. Afterwards we headed back across pretty calm waters back into the mangrove tunnels at the perfect time with light cascaded through the branches creating a picturesque environment. Capt Yak's knowledge and years of experience set his trips worlds apart from the rest!

We rented the Kayaks with Capt Yak to get to shell beach. Prior to the arrival, his communication was amazing with what to bring and directions to get there. On the day of the rental, the kayaks were out on the water and ready to go. He gave us a map of where to go, what would be easy for my family, locations that would be good to see some animals, fishing and shell hunting.
If we go back, we definitely will be renting again from Capt Tak

We had a great experience with Greg on a guided kayak tour of the Shell Key preserve. He brought a wealth of knowledge to the tour and was very personable. We enjoyed mangrove tunnels and bird watching. We liked it so much that we rented kayaks from Greg two days later and had another amazing experience at Shell Key (shelling, fishing). We highly recommend Capt Yak!

We paddled with Greg and had the best time!! He didn’t rush us at all and took us through a lot of mangrove tunnels and across the bay. He provided a lot of information on the history of the area and of the wildlife. I would highly recommend Capt Yak’s kayak tours.
