    As you paddle, look through your clear kayak to see the underwater world below. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, manatees, pelicans, crabs, and more while enjoying the preserve’s picturesque mangroves, beaches, and sandbars.

    Take a break at Shell Key, where you can collect shells, take in the views, and be surrounded by nature. Your guide will be happy to take photos and make sure you have fun along the way.

    For a unique experience, choose a nighttime tour. As dusk falls, turn on your kayak’s color-changing, waterproof LED lights to illuminate the water below. Paddle through the preserve, looking for wildlife, taking in the stars, and lighting up the water beneath you. Depending on the departure time, you may witness an incredible sunset.
