| Do I need any experience? No experience is required. We actually enjoy teaching the first timer! Do I need to be in great shape? No, it is good if you are of moderate fitness. Our tours are on flat water and go at a slow pace. We take frequent breaks to tell stories and talk about the ecology. What if we don’t like the weather on the day of our tour? We do kayak in wind and rain. If you however do not feel comfortable in the conditions of the day you may reschedule your tour to suit you comfort level. What do I need to bring on a tour? Bring lots of water, snack, sunscreen, sunglasses with strap, insect repellent, disposable camera or dry bag and camera. What should I wear on a tour? Dress for the weather. In the summer that means shorts and a t-shirt. Synthetic nylon clothing will dry quicker then cotton. If it looks like rain you can bring a rain coat. If it is a cool, off-season day you should wear layers, fleece jackets are great. It is not a bad idea to bring a towel along with a change of clothes for after the tour, especially if you are looking to go to dinner after a sunset tour. How young can a kayaker be? Any age as long as they are 30 lbs or more and in a two person kayak with an adult. Our smallest life jacket is made to fit a 30 lb child. Our shortest tour for children is on the water for about 1 ½ hours. This time goes quickly and most children are great, some even fall asleep with the motion of the kayak. How old can a kayaker be? Any age, especially if they are in a two person kayak with a strong kayak partner, the double kayaks are perfect for this scenario. You may also want to choose one of our more sheltered from the wind tours (i.e., Alligator River or Maritime Forest). How old do you have to be to go in a single kayak? We recommend that a kayaker should be 13 years or older to go in their own kayak. That being said, we have done as young as 8 because that child had prior kayak experience. Children under 13 in their own kayak do pay the adult fare. Can we drink alcohol on your tours? No, our insurance company does not permit this. Can we smoke cigarettes on your tours? No, it bothers other paying customers and is a wild-fire hazard. |
