    This kayaking operation has clearly assembled a fantastic team of guides who genuinely love what they do. Reviewers consistently rave about guides like Jenna, Jesse, Raven, Less, and Ben, praising their infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of local wildlife and ecosystems. These aren't just paddling instructors taking you from point A to point B – they're passionate naturalists who spot dolphins, manatees, stingrays, and various bird species while sharing fascinating insights about the preserve's environment. The wildlife encounters seem to be the real highlight here, with nearly every review mentioning multiple sightings during their tours. Guides go the extra mile by taking photos to share with guests and remembering everyone's names within minutes, creating a personal touch that transforms a simple kayak trip into something more memorable. The sunset tours get special mentions for combining beautiful scenery with excellent wildlife viewing. With an incredibly consistent track record across thousands of reviews, this appears to be one of those rare operations that delivers exactly what it promises every single time.

    Had a great clear kayak trip this morning with BEN. He was very knowledgeable on the birds and other wildlife we encountered on our trip today. She'll key preserve is beautiful. And the trip out and back was very relaxing and enjoyable for our party of 5. We had ben last year when our trip got shortened because of an afternoon thunderstorm ! Glad we had ben on our trip again this time. It make its educational and fun! Thank you Get Up and Go Kayaking Shell Key Preserve and Ben for a great Trip!
