About ECOmersion
Tampa Bay’s #1 Kayak Tour Company
ECOmersion is a kayak tour company whose purpose is to get people outside and connected with nature. We hope to provide you with the opportunity to reconnect with the beautiful environment around us. We often see wildlife like dolphins, manatees, fish, and birds on our tour. Shell Key and Weedon Island Preserves are located in St. Petersburg, FL and these preserves are quiet, reserved, and fun for people from age 8 – 80. We set ourselves apart by giving a passionate, educational, and fun-filled tour through some of our favorite places in Florida!

Making A Difference in the Community
At ECOmersion, we believe in giving back to the community by actively participating in environmental stewardship. We are proud to volunteer with a variety of non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving and restoring our local ecosystems.
Through our partnership with Tampa Bay Watch, our team engages in hands-on projects such as crafting Vertical Oyster Gardens (VOGs), contributing to living shoreline initiatives, and creating oyster reef balls to enhance marine habitats. We also collaborate with Keep Pinellas Beautiful on their microplastic citizen science project, helping to keep our waters clean.
Additionally, we support the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, Tampa Bay Kayak Anglers, Sea Turtle Trackers and Pinellas County’s Adopt-A-Drain program, all of which are committed to protecting the vital waterways that define our region. Together, we’re working to ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for Tampa Bay.

ECOmersion staff and friends also participated in the 35th Annual International Coastal Clean Up in support of international environmental awareness. Additionally, the ECOmersion launch site will strive for net zero emissions by 2025 with all electricity provided by solar panels attached to the facility.
