8-Hour Tandem Kayak Rental – Fort De Soto Campground & Shell Key Launch Delivery Included

Explore Fort De Soto & Shell Key Together — Delivery Included

Make a full day of exploring Southern Pinellas by tandem kayak. Paddle mangrove waterways, discover Tierra Verde's seagrass flats, or plan a sandy-shore stop in the Shell Key region. We deliver to your coordinated launch point and pick up when your rental is done, so you can share the adventure without transporting a kayak.
