    I highly recommend going kayaking with Capt Yak and his crew. They were fun, informative, well-equipped and it was amazing. We saw dolphins, Rays, Upside down jelly fish, birds. There was nothing negative about the experience and I will go again and again..see you in April when I come again.

    These guys followed us along and were quite entertaining.

    Greg gave an outstanding tour! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He was interesting and engaging, also extremely thoughtful. He made two restaurant suggestions that we tried and loved!! He also delivered my left behind water bottle. He went over and beyond on every way. Highly recommend!

    Capt Yak is the best! My husband and I went as something out of our norm. We had a blast! Capt brought his expertise of the area (which was very much needed on our windy adventure) and it paid off. I enjoyed the random facts and finds throughout the tour too!

    I can't imagine a better way to spend the day in the Tampa area. This was my first kayaking experience and it was excellent! This is a must do for any tourist or local!

    Capt Yak sharing his knowledge of the environment.

    Had a great time. Took some convincing to get hubby out kayaking. Greg was very knowledgeable and personable. Next time husband says we'll definitely book with with Greg again. We had a tandem kayak and neither of our backs hurt because the kayaks were equipped with seat backs. Made the trip even more enjoyable. Really great trip made even better because of Greg's style, knowledge and committment to the environment.

    We had a fantastic morning at Shell Key Preserve. Before our adventure we had lessons on safety and…read morekayaking. During the tour, our guide kept a good pace, all the while pointing out the wildlife and educating us about Shell Key. My kids have since been back to visit a second time!

    We didn't have a good trip because it didn't even happen. We were out of town and had looked it up…read morebased on reviews and good service. We had to go back that day, as we were visiting and booked the tour, we were about 20-25 min away so we grove right away over, although it was still had to be an hour before the tour was supposed to happen. We also were under impression that we weren't a "prisoners" of the tour and concreting our flight we though maybe we could just take an hour and come back (as it says it takes about 2 or over 2 hours for the tour) so when we came and learned that that couldn't be done, the very nice guide told us to call the office and get a refund. So I did immediately, so they could cancel the trip and get new people over to book as it's been less than 40 min since I've booked it and still an hour to go before the tour itself. The lady who worked at the office ( I want to say her name was Grace but I'm not 100% sure) told me that she understands and will talk to the owners, and that she'd call me later that day. As the only reason for the tour not to happen for us was that we had a flight to catch and just could do and 1 hour tour. I've messaged her as we were boarding the plane, that if she'd call we will be flying so won't be available. No response, The next day I've sent and email, No response, the day after I emailed again and will no response again I called. She was quite rude and "shitless" to say more accurately, and started to tell me that she didn't tell me really that she would ask about the refund and just being arrogant and unpleasant to say the least. So long story short I would avoid dealing with this company in the future as the service isn't as what I was hoping for as per all the good reviews that Ive read.

We found Sweetwater rented at Weedon Island and we had not been there before so we went!! First they do like you to make reservations before the day you want to go but we dod not do that. I do wish there was a way to do that online but you have to call. Luckily we called and they were more than accommodating. We told them we were about 15 minutes away and they put our name on the list and we got a tandem!! Everyone was professional and very helpful. The rates are reasonable and we got 2 hours for $34. Just the right amount of time. The Weedon Island area is really nice with some great areas to Kayak in. In particular are the mangrove paths. Really nice but can get a little tight. You will definitely get a workout navigating those!! Highly recommend Sweetwater. They are a great group of friendly and professional people.
