★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,800 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $79Our pick

Paddle Tampa Bay in a clear kayak, see mangroves and wildlife, then stop at Shell Key for shells, sandbars, and photos.

“We decided to book this last minute for a fun activity to do with our 18 year old daughter. We had an absolutely amazing time. The guide was incredible and you can tell she loved her job. We saw so much wildlife, got to stop at an island and hunt for shells, and we even stopped in the mangroves for a picture. We took the 6pm time, and got to witness the most beautiful sunset when we were coming back in. I 100% recommend this activity. We were so excited we decided to book it. It became one of the best parts of our trip.”
